I have a few more photos I found while organizing my photo files over last weekend. Above is a scene from the historic neighborhood in downtown Tucson. This was taken sometime before 2011. I know that because when I bought my first MacBook laptop on July 20, 2011, the Apple tech guys transferred all my photos and documents from my old Dell laptop to the new one. In the process, almost all of the photos lost their metadata and they all now have a date of 7/20/11. This photo made me think I was exploring an old ghost town but this building is actually in downtown Tucson. It's been spruced up and restored these days however, I really like the old and crumbling look it had back then.
This last one is a photo of a plant that was also taken in that same downtown Tucson area. It struck me at the time as very exotic looking. I had no idea what it was but, my trusty iPhone now says that it is a Ricinus. If any of you know it by a different name, let me know.
I don't know about you, but I love sorting through old photos. They bring back so many memories.

Great photos, when I moved to Mac, all of my photos ended up in one giant folder - like 38,000 of them.
That 1st shot mad me think of a ghost town too. I'm glad the building has been fixed up, Sharon.
3rd image: btw, think the first image is very nice, enjoy the juxtapositions in the 2nd
Carmencita? - well to stay clear

Excellent photos. I like the first one and the juxtapositions in the second photo are fantastic.

I like those buildings, we don't see those here.
The door is truly rustic
I know the plant as a castor bean, the source of the poison ricin. They ARE pretty and make interesting landscape plants, though. I like the top photo a lot, and yeah, the inclusion of the security camera in the second one is a funny touch. :)
