19 July 2006

Here's where I live.
It hardly ever rains here, but the monsoon season is in full swing and Tucson is beautiful at dusk. I thought I'd share. [More:]
The video vault has whole days in 20 seconds.
The Photo Archive is breathtaking.
aww, now it's too dark. the archives are still good, though.

Cool. I'll be back in AZ soon! But I'm from Phoenix.

Anyway, those archives are great. It reminds me of my favorite AZ weather event: the Haboob!

This is a good example of what I'd see from my house during the Haboob.

well, anyway, the cam's a great view so check it out sometime in the day. and make sure you visit beautiful Arizona soon! I recommend ~7:20 MST.

boobs.

Wow, the first movie clip of the monsoon is NUTS. It looks like the city goes completely underwater there at one point! :) Great link, c.o.t.w.a.w.

My mum and I got caught in one of those monsoons whilst driving on the highway (major north/south route, can't remember the name/number) in Phoenix. Couldn't see past the front of the car. We pulled over and waited it out which took all of 15 minutes or so. I never, ever want to do that again.

I was in Tucson around this time last year . .just hot and people were waiting for the monsoons to start but they never did.

My inlaws said that summer for them is like winter for a lot of people because most people spend it inside, doing mental gymnastics about how much a/c to use vs. merely relying on the swamp coolers.

It IS lovely, though. Tucson is nice.

strictly swamp cooling for me, which is hell sometimes. good reason to be naked most of the time, though.
