Thanks, the buildings were there - no cutting them out - I am not certain they are dwellings. The 3-story building on the right is the "Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain Hotel." Not sure if the buildings to the left are associated with it, but they might be. You will drop a minimum $273 per night for the least expensive room. Pretty high rent when it's not NYC, San Francisco, or Chicago.

Thank you. We stopped on our hike for a few moments, I looked out, and retrieved my camera for the very reasons you cited.

Originally posted by PJ1 Very nice shot. It captures that living-in-Tucson feel.
I live in Iowa, about 1,600 miles from this shot, which I took just a couple days ago. My folks, and two of my siblings and their families live in Greater Tucson.
My brother, his wife, and one of their daughters kindly took me and my only daughter on this hike. I agree with you about the living-in-Tucson feel. I would have no knowledge about what folks in Tucson do, without them. Hiking is one thing they do, but you have to know where to find the trails, which they know. I just carried my camera in case I saw something interesting. Thank you for your kind, thoughtful comment.
