All of the photos in this set were taken at Waterfall Canyon in the White Tank Mountain Regional Park in Maricopa County, Arizona. The waterfall here flows intermittently, only after desert rains.

I have been thinking a lot about black and white images lately, as they seem to capture well the extremes of contrast in the desert landscape.

I am curious to know if anyone still dreams in monochrome.

For about a quarter of my life all of my dreaming was in black and white. I think it must have been from so much of the visual imagery I processed each day as a boy coming from a black-and-white television screen. In fact, all of my television viewing, until the time I left home for college, was in black and white. I didn’t even own a television in the years between the start of college and 2000, when I finally bought one to watch the Olympics. Sometime in the early 1970s my dreams went technicolor, and have never gone back.
