It may be snowy outside here in Philadelphia, PA, but back in early October in Tucson, AZ it was sunny and warm. On our last day in Tucson, we visited the Pima Air & Space Museum at which you definitely could spend an entire day and still not see quite everything that they have to offer. Adjacent to the museum is the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), also known as the “Boneyard” which is part of the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base that we drove by. Also snapped a not so good drive by of one of Tucson’s solar farms.

Finally, we took a drive up ‘A’ Mountain or Sentinel Peak to catch the sun set over Tucson. I took a bunch of different exposures to try and capture the foreground and the colors of the sunset and in the hopes of practicing with High Dynamic Range (HDR) in Photoshop. I’ve included one of those attempts that turned out alright.
