TUCSON, ARIZONA TRIP - NOV 2009 (Nov 13 / 16, 2009)For our 58th Anniversary, Lea and I drove to Tucson, AZ for a few days at a favorite place, the Westward Look Resort. After a cloudy first day, a little light rain the next day, we enjoyed two more days of near perfect weather.
For sight seeing and photographs, most of our time was spent in the Saguaro National Parks, one Northwest and the other Southeast of Tucson.

Cervantes #2 (October 2009)Day Two at Cervantes and I was up in time to watch the Sunrise over the sand dunes and enjoy a walk along the beach with the sea mist rising in the pink glow of early morning. An ultralight aircraft flew overhead as I searched for the treasures left by the receding tide. A new day in Cervantes, an interesting morning tour of the Pinnacles (in earlier album) and a few more photos taken around town before returning to Perth. Enjoy these views from Day Two in Cervantes. |

Cervantes #1 (October 2009)In order to do my two recent tours of The Pinnacles, I stayed in the nearby town of Cervantes, a popular fishing and holiday spot on the coast. Cervantes was established in 1962 when the Government removed 505 hectares of land from the northwest corner of Nambung National Park to establish the town which has now become the ‘Gateway to the Pinnacles’. The town site took its name from the three Cervantes Islands where the American Whaling Ship ‘Cervantes’ was wrecked off the coast on 29 June 1844. Features of Cervantes include spectacular pristine beaches showcasing the beautiful turquoise ocean where visitors can enjoy many water activities. This is Cervantes as captured by my camera prior to the Sunset Tour of The Pinnacles on Day One of my visit. |

The Pinnacles Desert #2 (October 2009)Take a Morning Tour of The Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park, Western Australia, where thousands of huge limestone pillars rise from the shifting yellow sands. This unique landscape is a photographer’s paradise, especially as the colours of the Pinnacles change with the mood of the day and the angle of the light. This tour with ‘Turquoise Coast Enviro Tours’ brings you views of The Pinnacles as seen in the morning sunshine and many of the shapes will be recognized from my previous Pinnacles Sunset album, however they take on a new dimension with the light coming from the opposite direction. To view the Pinnacles at Sunset, please visit — http://imageevent.com/gladysclancy/ecotours/thepinnaclesdesert1 |
