Located on Highway 80 east of Tucson, Arizona, Tucson Truck Terminal has been serving truckers passing through the Southwest since 1954.

I decided to do this print with an antique look to show what this desert landscape photo may have looked like in the late 1800's. I could just imagine a photographer back then, taking a picture of Superstition Mountain from the same spot I took this one, knowing that the landscape has not changed in all that time.
