Sunset from my roof with my driveway and "practice" hut which I built for practice before building my house. This is a high dynamic range image - a combination of 2 or 3 images with different exposures.
Looking across the Avra Valey west of Tucson, Arizona toward the Silverbell Mountains in Ironwood Forest National Monument.
This valley, just east of Silverbell and Ragged Top peaks (left and right in the picture), is a portion of the proposed route for Interstate 11 . From this vantage point you would be able to see parts of the road. You'd also hear it. And the exhaust pipe gases from hundreds of hardworking vehicles, speeding north and south, would drift slowly east toward Tucson; through neighborhoods, schoolyards, and into the clean air of one of our great National treasures, Saguaro National Park. The toxic gas molecules might not do immediate harm. But we know they do over time, to both plants and people. Why take the chance, when cheaper and less harmful alternate routes exist.
