Away from Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona is a land of wide open spaces, ranch land, a place that we think of when we think of the old west. Maybe because so many of the movies that give us our impression of the old west were filmed there. Driving back from Brisbee, an old mining town, after visiting Tombstone, where most of the ambiance of the old west has been preserved or else in a disneyland fashion, made up, I saw this windmill on ranch land, the sun setting, the mountains in a haze in the distance. Sometime all the elements come together and all you have to do is press the shutter.
