* Tucson *

Here's a shot looking down to the town of Tucson. Quite a large and spread out city, the downtown area is still relatively small.

Tucson is nestled in the Sonora desert, at the foot of the Catalina Mountains. 

Other than interstate 19, which leads down to the border and Nogales, Mexico, there is only one other freeway, interstate 10, which passes from northwest to southeast through the town.
This actually makes driving around town a little more inconvenient and time consuming as you struggle through all the intersections and traffic signals. 

Other than that, the city is quite interesting. I still have yet to explore this whole place, but as time passes, I'm sure I will.
