Lemmonade sunrise - Tucson Arizona

Mt. Lemmon Arizona sunrise

Mt. Lemmon highway, Tucson, AZ

My first panorama, composed of 8 shots. It should print to about 6 feet long, if I had a place to put such a creation. I "pre-visualized" it the day before at mid-morning, and it was a sunrise worth getting up before 5 am to see.

Tucson is a food town, but not a coffee town. I drove around for blocks, looking for a latte for R. Finally found a red London double-decker bus converted to a drive-thru coffee bar. On the other hand, at El Charro, which looks like a tourist trap or worse at the original location, produced the single best huevos rancheros I have ever tasted. Think tortillas, eggs, red sauce, a cheese-stuffed roasted green chile and home-smoked bacon piled one atop the next. I could go back tomorrow. I tried, but we had to come home.
