Guadalupe, Arizona | Phoenix Landscape Photography

Posted by Chris H. on May 26, 2010

I spent several hours recently wandering around Guadalupe, which is a small town – you might even describe it as a village – situated right in the middle of greater metropolitan Phoenix.  It is kind of surreal to turn off Baseline Rd. in Tempe and suddenly find yourself in a place that feels like it could be in Mexico.  The town is home to 6,000 Latinos and Yaqui Indians and is perhaps best known to Anglos as a place to go for authentic, inexpensive Mexican food.  I ate lunch at Del Yaqui, which I highly recommend.  Great food and nice people.  I plan to spend some more time in Guadalupe over the next several months, but here are a couple of images from my first foray:

Desert Spring | Arizona Landscapes

Posted by Chris H. on March 22, 2010

Because it has been a rainy winter in Arizona, expectations are high for a colorful spring wildflower season in the desert.  I drove up to Bartlett and Horseshoe Lakes, about 50 miles northeast of Phoenix, a couple of days ago and, while it is still a little early, there are already dense patches of lupine and poppies.  The reservoirs are filled to brimming and the mountainsides are green…. at least for a few more weeks.

Coal Train – Richmond

Posted by Chris H. on January 5, 2010

I was recently in Richmond, visiting family for the holidays, and was able to spend the better part of one day exploring the city with my brother-in-law. Having previously only seen Richmond from the freeway as I passed through, I had no idea what a beautiful and interesting place it is. Here a coal train pauses on the banks of the James River just south of the Hollywood Cemetery.
