Photo of the Week - January 12-18, 2015

Photo of the Week - January 12-18, 2015

I woke up this morning (last day of the week) with no good options for a photo of the week(that were not a sunset photo). I had posted a sunset photo last sunday. Since last week was the first time I had posted a photo of the week I did not want to roll into the 2nd week and have to take a selfie, so I would have something to post. Much like the Seattle Seahawks football game today, what started off miserably, somehow, ended well. I now have at least 5 photos to post in 1 spot.

I chose the photo above, taken on my run today. A few hours later, yet another amazing sunset blitzed the skies of SE Arizona. My challenge is to 'NOT' post a sunset every photo of the week.

Ok, I might slide some sunset photos at the end of this post.

I have a wonderful running loop that circles around some beautiful desert and includes the 2nd highest paved road(?) in the Tucson, Oro Valley area. The views are stunning. I try to be on the road, running south, near sunset. This points me in the direction of the setting sun and hopefully great photos.

I have 4 fences that I have to crawl through, over, under or to manage to get tangled in. As I reached the 3rd fence, with my lack of photos to post, I was doing my best to be creative, and think 'outside the box'.

At the fence line there are 6 pipes sitting on the desert floor. I took a few photos, since I liked how the row of pipes lined up with a distant dirt road on another hill side. In this setting, they were an unusual sight.

I decided to check out the pipes, close-up, and continue the thought process. A photo shot into the pipe, with the sun beaming through the cut slots and a conversion to black & white, and I had my photo of the week. I like to have a creative angle.

So I have managed to attach 5 photos to my 'photo of the week'. Beats a selfie.
