Your Scene: Iconic beauty in southern Arizona

Alan Heller and his wife, Claudia, traveled to Tucson last February for a gem show. On their way, they visited Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona along the Mexican border.

The monument’s namesake is the organ pipe cactus, shown here on the right. On the left is the iconic saguaro cactus. The Duarte resident captured this scene at sunset with a Nikon D5000.
