A photographic celebration of the city of Tucson, AZ
The Independence Day Car Show has become a Saddlebrooke tradition, attracting automobile enthusiasts from all over southeastern Arizona. This year’s show featured cars from the 20s to the present day, including a 2006 Ferrari F430. Later that night they provided a fireworks show.

Fireworks are a highlight of Independence Day celebrations around the US, and Tucson, AZ is no different. We do have issues with the dry desert catching fire, which sometimes stops the city sponsored show. But smaller shows abound, like the one where these pictures were taken a few years ago. Each year the community of Saddlebrooke, just north of Tucson, hosts a small show that is visible from anywhere in the development. Residents set up chairs in their yards, turn out their lights and enjoy the show. A few years ago I brought my camera and a tripod and captured these images.
