Tucson's Presidio

If you're thinking Paris, it's the Eiffel Tower.  Chicago?  The Sears Tower.  San Francisco?  The Opera House.  In the Old Pueblo, it's the distinctive tiled dome of the downtown Presidio.

When you think old west, you might not bring this distinctive dome to mind, but it overlooks El Presidio Plaza Park in Tucson, a site which was established in 1775 by a Spanish Army Captain, Hugo Conor.

I took this photo this afternoon while attending the Tucson Fire Fighter's Annual Chili Cookoff in the same plaza where Spanish soldiers once drilled and marched.

Rita,

It was 80 this afternoon, and the temperature will fall to a cool 55 this evening.  Come on down!

Hey Mike,

Thanks for the post and your stunning picture of a beautiful Tucson landmark. Your photo brings back great memories for me. It was in the archways below the view of this picture that my wife and I went back and had some professional wedding photos taken, the day after my got married. It gave us one more chance to put on our wedding duds and enjoy!
