Pinnacle Peak Patio

Taken with my Droidx smartphone at Pinnacle Peak Patio. If you’re in the Phoenix area and have not photographed this area yet, your time may be limited because the property us up for sale. I hate to see it go 🙁

Greasewood Flat Scene

I added a layer of texture to this scene shot in infrared at Greasewood Flat.

Lanterns

Another infrared capture from our outing to Reata Pass. There are dozens of these lanterns on the Pinnacle Peak Patio property and I enjoy figuring out new ways to photograph them. Sadly, this Scottsdale landmark is going to be torn down in the near future. It’s just 5 minutes away so I’m trying to capture it while I can.

Greasewood Flat

An infrared HDR capture of the entrance to Greasewood Flat….a famous hangout for bikers (as well as families) and a really fun place to photograph! Although there is a lot of grease in their food (good, though!), the name doesn’t refer to that. Greasewood is a common name for the Creosote Shrub. (There’s another species of shrub nicknamed Greasewood but it doesn’t grow in our area.)

Farmers Market

Just a mile from home, I spot a sign for a Farmer’s Market going on at Reata Pass yesterday. I was disappointed in the market but I loved their entrance sign.

Reata Pass

Reata Pass is only a couple of miles from my house so I run up there whenever I’m in need of a photo of the day. My hope is that this section along Alma School won’t suffer the same fate as the Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse where the majority of old buildings are. That area has been slated for development 🙁
