Photo tour and sunset video




View from the dorm.
Looking one way on the dorm catwalk.
Looking the other way.
Outside the dorm. The building to the right is the air conditioner, I'm told. Seriously. The whole thing.
There are plants... but sprinklers run all the time to keep them alive.




Biggest aloe plant I've ever seen.
Arizona Iced Tea!!!
...which is made in New York?
Sunset!




Can you see how flat it is here?
The mountains are visible in every direction.
Amazing! And this happens every night!










We see a lot of planes. The airport is really close to downtown and ASU.




Mountains again.


More mountains.
Mountains in opposite direction, other side of the valley.

The bone I mentioned in a previous post. I visit it on my way to my car each morning. Like I said, it just seems normal for bones to lie around in the desert. It is a chicken bone, but, eh, you know, it might as well be a cow skull or something.
