A photographic celebration of the city of Tucson, AZ
Lately it seems that this is how often I post. I hope to do better in 2010, but to end 2009, and celebrate the second full moon of December, popularly known as a blue moon, that happens on December 31, 2009, I thought I’d post some of my favorite moon shots from the past several years.

From the Rattlesnake Bridge at the eastern end of downtown to the brightly colored buildings of La Placita Village, downtown Tucson has a lot of character. The aging barrios contrast with more modern high-rises, blending old and new.
1 A unique and controversial structure, the Rattlesnake Bridge is also known as “The Bridge to Nowhere.” The tail rattles when you walk by, and the structure greets you as you enter downtown on Broadway from the east, or bids you goodbye as you leave.
