View from hotel room, Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Hotel
Phoenix, Arizona, January 2010
Being a photographer means dozens of rolls of photos from your family vacation strewn everywhere in sock drawers, in the cube refrigerator, and shoeboxes. But, it's always a pleasant surprise when you get your snapshots back from Walgreen's.
One such shot was taken on our family vacation to Phoenix last January, which was marred by the worst torrential rain (which came down as mud) and flooding Arizona had seen in twenty years.
But, for one day, the clouds went elsewhere and we had a beautiful day to go out and about. To boot, I snapped this pic from our balcony. In all my days, I've never been afforded a greater view from my hotel room window than this. Not even in Iceland.
