Phoenix, Arizona Photos: Red rock buttes at sunset, Papago Park

These three Phoenix Arizona (AZ) Photos show the range of beauty seen in Papago Park, in Phoenix, Arizona. Looking more like a distant planet’s terrain than an urban space, it is a desert park in the full sense of the word. From imposing red rock buttes to appealing fishing lagoons it is a delightful if oddly adorned city park. In these three photos you see a dust storm, a setting sun, and a winter visitor to this Phoenix park. Photos by Donald Peterson.

This photo shows Papago Park, Phoenix, Arizona in warm, inviting early evening light. This is my favorite time of the day to photograph Papago Park. The warm tones paint this desert setting with rich color. The most mundane settings take on a rich beauty at this time of day, in this light. This was shot with my Olympus E-300 and kit lens. The Kodak sensor in this old classic DSLR has a way of rendering color that is a bit unrealistic, but very pleasing. To me eye, it gives photos the look of Kodachrome slides.
