More pictures from Day One

Posted in Photos by Chris Mann

uhrt1_thumbFollowing on from Jésus’ selection of photos from day one, here are a few of mine.

We traveled from Phoenix out towards the north-east and basically followed the Apache Trail over the mountains to our first night’s stopping place in Globe AZ.

The road out of town – towards the Superstition Mountains and the start of the journey…

This place was (a little disappointingly) built as a movie set, but it does have a real live blacksmith working there who demonstrates the old traditional skills.

It even has a photo studio! – no not really – it just has the sign…

And fire buckets…

In the desert you would expect to see cacti – and we were not disappointed:

Moving on, we ventured ever deeper into the mountains along the Apache Trail…

  4. Petra Hall Said,

    Lovely shots too, Chris. The landscape is really cool and I guess ou have to experience it yourself to really feel the greatness of it. It looks great, but I bet it’s even cooler up close.

    Sitting here retouching in my cold office those views look gorgeous!!

    Take care, Larz

    Love the fire bucket image, nice contrast with blue bars on the window.
