Between the Rocks


I drove out to Papago Park on Saturday and made my way up to the top lookout point at the park's edge.  I noticed the steady stream of planes coming in for a landing.  The park is located under the flight path for Sky Harbor International Airport.  I waited so I could capture one of the planes between these two huge rock formations.

I actually went there to see if I could photograph any of the waterbirds that hang around the lagoon but, the park was too busy so the birds were staying away.  So the only photos I got were of the buttes that surround the park.  This view is looking north and the top view is to the south.
