One of my favorite things to do is to come out here and meditate under the moonlight. The plaza at Wukoki Pueblo, Wupatki National Monument, Az.

In the tower.

On hot days like today, I like to pull up this image from back in Feb. A tip for anyone visiting Arizona, the Rim Road is one of the best spots for camping in Arizona. The spots do fill quickly though.

Those that have followed for a while know that the monsoon season in Arizona is my favorite photo subject. This year is predicted to be very strong due to the El Nino. I hope and pray that people will heed the warnings and prep now. Do not, under any circumstances, drive thru flood waters. This has been a public service announcement.
