Two Hours in Tucson, Arizona

I was in Tucson, Arizona for two spring days in April, 1999.  This was primarily a business trip, but I dragged my F100 along in the off chance I found enough motivation to get up for the 5:30 a.m. sunrise.  Sunsets, which are much better in this area, were out of the question due to time constraints.  Anyway, I shot a roll of velvia, and managed to get a few interesting shots during my two hours of shooting time.  Here are some of them...
