Gallery 5
Prescott, Arizona
About the images in this gallery:
all the images in this gallery were scanned

print film, 100ASA. No
digital manipulations were made on these images. All photos were
taken hand-held. The
enlarged images are about 70 KB each and will display at about
900x600 pixels.

The first six photos in this gallery were taken from the shore of beautiful
Watson Lake, located
just outside the
city of Prescott, in central 
Arizona. Further down the page is a shot of
Mingus Lake,
located high in the Mingus Mountains, seen here with the brilliant colors
of Fall 
reflecting off of its
partially frozen surface. 
Following that are a few shots of the historic
town of Jerome, at one time a bustling mining town that was home to some
15,000 residents. With
the closing of the mines,
the population quickly 
dropped down to just 100 residents in only a
year's time.
In the 1960's, the ghost town was discovered by the youth counterculture
and became a 
hippie commune. Today,
the town is primarily 
tourist oriented, and is home to the Jerome
Historical Society Museum, which formerly served as the mineowner's private
estate. The last two
photos were taken in
Sedona, just beyond which 
lies two of Arizona's most scenic attractions --
the Grand Canyon
and Monument Valley. Unfortunately, we didn't make it that far this trip,
but 
hope to get there soon
to take in some of 
America's most dazzling natural wonders.

These photos aren't bad,
but don't you have anything better?

Take me back home;
I want to choose a new destination.

Your web site sucks; where can I see some good
porn?

Excuse me, but the information
in this gallery is not accurate.
