Willcox Dry Lake Bed, Arizona

I love to ask people to figure out how I made this image. It is unretouched.Once you know how I made it, you cannot help but see it.

Diane and I were driving up toward Willcox when we went past a sign that said "Wildlife Viewing Area Next Right". We were actually trying to figure out a way to get out on the dry lake, which the Army Air Corps used as a bombing range for B-17s in WWII. Needless to say, the Air Force doesn't want you wandering around unexploded ordnance. This viewing area is about the best vantage point to look out over the lake (except for the guy whose driveway we went down, but he wasn't too happy about trespassers).

The birds out here are phenomenal! This is one of the "must see" attractions for the birdwatching crowd. I don't know any of the ones we saw, but there were literally thousands of them...fantastic....and a fantastic day for a road trip!
