not prying, colin, but what's the general route you take and how efficient is the bus along that stretch? my only knowledge of suntran was that it stopped twice - maybe - every day up at sunrise and swan. i guess pima needs to fork over the funding if urban fringe-dwellers wanna ride.

that last providence shot is 'gasmic.
here's some abstract zhit from a long trip that ended up in las vegas a couple of years ago. this is on I-15, just as traffic starts to pick up going into town:

here's another just up the hill from the PCH. we were heading coastward from paso robles and pulled out to shoot some photos, and didn't know for several minutes that we were within view of the pacific. hazy california days...sigh:

this thread gets my imaginary vote for most interesting and diverse of all the UP photo threads. the SF photo threads are pretty mind-blowing, too, thanks to zahc.
here's a joshua tree in arizona or california or nevada...it's been a couple of years since i took the pic, so memory fails. mojave, anyway:

nice nice!
hey, i might as well start dredging some old photos and get in on the act...
here's a tiny scan from a bad disposable camera shot of a trip through monument valley two years ago - wish i'd had a nice DSLR for shots like this:

it's normally a washed-out grey; the sunrise lends it a temporary hue.

the southtrust tower in birmingham. yes, southtrust.........

here's the leer tower, taken from the richard arrington bridge:

i'm putting this in the south photo of the day thread too, but what the heck - the southtrust tower (what? is it something else now???):

hell, i should have just started a thread - st. paul's catholic church on 3rd avenue north:

By the way, I was just in your fair city this past weekend passing through for the Arkansas-Alabama game....what a great game (though my Hogs lost on the last play!). Everyone was very nice to our family during our trip.
good to hear (about the hospitality; not the razorbacks' loss).
sometimes i feel that southern hospitality is the luck of the draw in bham (and much of the urban south in general). when it's there, man, is it ever there...but there are times when i recall how consistently well i've been treated by strangers in california or texas, compared to the sporadic hospitality evident in the paths i've crossed throughout my life here in 'bama. i'm very happy you experienced the good! i think my jaded mind takes it for granted here sometimes.
...and FWIW, i've been welcomed warmly by strangers in ft. smith, fayetteville and pine bluff on numerous trips through AR.
airports! flying! i always manage to do this to these topics.

i just moved into the sheraton apartments on highland avenue. here's a fairly crappy pic of the sunrise a couple of days back, looking beyond rushton park and toward the airport:
they don't wash the outside of their windows very often, and on the ninth floor, i'm not about to try it...so all my out-the-window pics are splotchy from the grime.

not dead; just letting life kick my ass lately - UP gets the lurk treatment at times like these.
i've been back to N.O. a couple of times since Katrina, having also spent a week there just before it hit. it's surreal - the parts that don't seem the same really, really don't seem the same - as in permanent change / destruction / reorientation of the city's traffic, land use, infrastructure, etc.
but the parts that do seem the same - the quarter, frenchman street & environs (just east of the esplanade), riverward parts of canal and the CBD, the southern portion of the garden district, etc. - seem untouched. the contrast between these areas and the devastated ones is just jarring, no matter how familiar with the city you think you are. residents must feel the bipolarity in a way i can't pretend to imagine - as though a deformed, mutated evil twin of the city came along and tried to usurp the same space, and succeeded in most places. (okay, i tried anyway to imagine it with that weirdo analogy.)
but yeah, tucson in general!

In my obsession with ExpressJet, I checked out their site again today to find that, apparently, Tucson also now has a direct to/from New Orleans MSY, even though it's not on their route map yet. About $99 one-way.
Pretty cool!
