The ground holds its breath,
Leaves curl like tired hands,
Clouds gather slowly —
We watch the horizon,
hoping the sky will open

View from Mt. Lemmon to the Tucson Valley. — Image by kenne
Ben Mor
I once stood upon a mountain top
And felt the wind that wouldn’t stop
I held a rock forever old
Heard all its stories left untold
It’s cape of green laid out below
The rainstorm coming grey and slow
High above the world I knew
Surrounded by a sea deep and blue
When I climbed down the stone remained
My own life’s story deep ingrained
The thistles prick, the golden sun
The painted hills are all now done
And though I left a piece behind
I took the mountain, in my mind

Windy Point On Catalina Highway — Images and video by kenne
August of 2010, only two months after arriving in Tucson, I was driving up Catalina Highway. Like many people new to the area, I stopped at Windy Point, which provides great views of the Tucson valley area.
After leaving my car, I noticed some young people rock climbing. They were actually climbing the Windy Point Rock Spire to do a photo shoot on the top. While they were climbing and later taking photos, I took photos of them.
After climbing down, I introduced myself and gave them my business card, telling them to contact me if they would like any of my images. I never heard from them.
Now, some three years later, I decided to do another posting on this photo-opt that became a project by accident.
In the summer time I’m up in the Catalina’s about three times a week and think of the rock climbers each time I drive by Windy Point.
