#nature is amazing. Visited the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park. Beautiful park for a picnic, views and some hiking.
This is a 6 picture panorama shot on a canon T3i with a canon 10-22mm lens at 10mm, ISO 800, F3.5, 30 second exposure. I took this picture a little after 5:00am the sun was just starting to rise. The right side is facing south and the left side is facing east. That’s why you have the yellow and purples on the right from the city and the blue on the left as I was just starting to get some glow from the sun. #bvSSpring #BvSMountains
Horseshoe bend - so amazing the special shape of this place is.
