A few minutes South of Phoenix lies an Indian Reservation and a few small communities. There is much historical significance in the area- here are two of the sites.

Casa Grande Ruins- built in the 1300's by the Hohokam Indians

The roof structure is to prevent erosion of the Caliche clay that the structure is made of.

No pass- shot through an iron gate but loved the lighting

During WWII Arizona had several Japanese Internment Camps- this is a memorial of one of the largest.

    I love the "No Pass" shot.
    The internment camp memorial reminds me of Stonehenge, especially with the moon in the background. (that is the moon, right?)
