ARIZONA ARCHITECTURE

Architecture and more...






Adventures took us to places like Kentucky Camp, Tumacacori, Nogales, and more. Hope you enjoy the shots taken along, and off, the roads of Southern Arizona.








Ghost Towns
We find ourselves seeking out old buildings in settlements, and areas, on our adventures. Arizona has a large number of sites across the state. Many are old mine towns long past their boom. Others are state or national park.
You just never know what you will find if you go off the beaten track, if only a little bit.

Pima Air & Space Museum


Pima Air & Space Musuem
Pima Air & Space Museum, where history takes flight, is one of the largest air and space museums in the world, and the largest non-government funded aviation museum. You'll see more than 300 aircraft and spacecraft including many of the most historically significant and technically advanced craft ever produced, both from the United States and throughout the world.

390th Memorial Museum
Located on the grounds of the Pima Air & Space Museum, the 390th Memorial Museum features a beautifully restored B17G 'Flying Fortress' named "I'll Be Around," along with many other exhibits, artifacts, memorabilia and documents relating to the group when it was based in England during WWII. This is an incredible area for flying buffs, historians, and more. We were even able to utilize a ladder/platform to get photos from a higher perspective in the museum!
