If you liked that B52 earlier, you’ll love the amazing plane boneyard in Tucson, Arizona #googlemaps
I once lived east of this boneyard.
A cemetery of disused war planes in the scorching Arizona desert has been given a new lease of life – as part of an art project.
‘The Boneyard Project’ resurrects disused war planes that lie in the famous Boneyard in Arizona by letting graffiti artists paint them.
More than 30 of the world’s best urban artists worked on five ruined US Air Force jets, vividly bringing them back to life with paint and colour.
Eagle-eyed: Planes in the art project are brought back to life with vivid colours and images

I always liked Lee Marvin in the movies. I liked him even more when he moved to Tucson and you would occasionally spot him driving around town in his beat up old pick-up truck wearing a crumpled cowboy hat acting like … yeah, just like another real person and not full of himself.
He was a good’en.

Hummingbird Sunset (Two of my favorite things together)
Photo and comment by Mike Shaw: “Tedious. Another evening ANOTHER AWESOME SUNSET!!! Arizona has every place I’ve been to beat by quite a long ways when it comes to sunset awesomeness! Better than Roswell. Better than Lubbock. Better than Odessa. Better than Oregon. (although Oregon has best lots of other stuff!) Even better than San Diego at the beach! It really boggles the mind.”
Saguaro National Park, Southern Arizona: 1935, 2010
The landscape pictured here in front of Agua Caliente Hill near Tucson is dominated by a stand of tall saguaro cactus in the photo on the left, taken in 1935 when the park was a national monument. Brittlebrush, foothill paloverde and mesquite can also be seen.
In the photo on the right, taken in March of this year, the saguaro has declined dramatically and very few of the individual plants in the earlier photo remain. But new saguaro have been growing in the area since the 1970s and could eventually fill the landscape again. Houses being built along the park’s border are destroying the saguaro there.
