Black and White at................

Nikon D-3, 14-24mm @14mm, 1/160 @ f/7.1, ISO 100, -1.33 EV
N 34 Degrees, 35.554 minutes
West Degrees, 25.103 minutes
5163' above sea level

From a daily average temperature of 55 degrees to 107 degrees. Instead of passing away (how do you spell dieing?) and going to heaven, I've traveled to hell.....
Why do people live in Phoenix and the surrounding areas? The heat. I get the same answer everytime when I ask. They always say they like the heat. They get their wish. Man it's hot.
If the people like the heat so much why is every building cooled to 20 below zero inside? Passing thru the rental car terminal I noticed several women complaining of the cold. In other buildings I have been here, it is much cooler than building temps in the SLC area. I don't get it. Why not just run fans in the buildings down here if everyone like the heat so much? This is one I will never figure out

Arriving tonight late in Prescott Valley I ran to my favorite spot before dinner and checking into the hotel. This lake is one of the most photogenic lakes around. A couple that was having a picnic their asked that I take a photograph of them. It was their 25 wedding anniversary. Very cordial people. They seem to have the relationship that those with a lot fewer years married have. I hope their years together continue to their longest goal.
The photo above was taken from a different location from where I have shot before. The sky and multitude of rock formations give great variety and options to photograph. Tonight black and white fit. If your in Prescott Valley look up this lake.

Very beautiful shot! The folds in the rock remind me of a Shar pei dog's wrinkles. Good stuff!
