So we return to Meyer Ave this week. With a final peek at the street, its homes, and the last few details hidden in this small corner of Tucson. The homes have been photographed a million times and at the start I figured, "here I am just doing what everyone else has already done." I took some of the typical doorway shots commonly seen, trying to add something slightly new when I could.
After making one pass through the street, I turned around and walked back down looking for something new. A lot struck me in the details and the environment. The artistic touches to doors and windows. The shadows cast across walls, doors, and windows. The selection of colorful pots lining the dirt street and even the cactus and agave contrasting with the warm tones of the buildings themselves.
There is definitely a lot to see in such a small corner of an already beautiful, colorful city (yes, I love Tucson, even thought most hate it). So if you find yourself down in southern Arizona, make a quick stop at South Meyer Ave and take a moment to enjoy one of the most colorful neighborhoods you'll ever find.
I love walking down Meyer ave in the afternoons when the sun is going down. There's something really magical about that narrow street:)
