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.
