Slide Rock State Park, AZ
A very popular spot, so hard to take a photo without people or power lines🤔
Last year, I got a nice shot, but with power lines 🙃
This year, there are no power lines, but there are a few people (if you look closely). Still, I don’t think it’s too bad 😊
Fishing is not permitted in this area, but there are good fishing spots both upstream and downstream of the park.

Hello! This is Mohammed from Gaza. How are you today? Did you sleep well? What are your plans for today? 🫂🌹🤍
Sit with me, let’s have a coffee together (or a tea if you prefer), and let me tell you a little bit about my family’s history. ☕️📖
I put some old photos, they’re not mine, just here to illustrate.
