Shutter Mike Photography

The Arabian Library is actually in Scottsdale, Arizona.  But that is close enough that we can still call this a great Phoenix photography spot.  This spot falls into the architectural photography category for obvious reasons, but its desert setting offers vegetation and wildlife if architectural photography is not your thing or you want to mix your nature and architecture.  Designed by richärd+bauer architects the Arabian Library is one of 5 libraries in the City of Scottsdale.  The building was designed to meet LEED Gold standards and its rusted steel walls anchor it to the desert site on which it sits.

Anyone have any ideas where this photograph was taken?  The shadow of the Palo Verde tree is cast against the rusted steel wall by the sunrise.  Check back on Friday for more images and the details of this location.

The first built bridge designed by architect Paolo Soleri is a pedestrian bridge crossing the canals in Scottsdale, AZ.
