Someone requested a mountain vista for today's photo. I had to think about that. Usually I just get up in the morning, go to the computer, and then start opening pics up until something strikes my fancy or it gets so late that I hafta just post something and get on with getting ready for work. Then there's the entire "mountain vista" question. Do they mean view OF a mountain, or view FROM a mountain? Since I had posted several photos OF a mountain over the past month or two, I went with FROM a mountain. Or a hilll in this case. I don't climb mountains. Too old an sedentary. So this one is taken from Clementine Hill in Jerome, Arizona. Jerome is a small artist cololny these days. In the early 1900s, it was a booming mining town, deemed "The Wickedest Town In America' by those who care about such things. September, 2005.
