Time tunnel, Old State Capitol, Phoenix, Arizona, 2009

As I looked into this rippled glass of a 100-year-old window set deeply into an arch of granite facing on Arizona’s original State Capitol building, another twisted window emerged in reflection. The contrast between the solid slabs of surrounding granite and the swirling coppery reflection within the arch was profound. Blending with twisted shreds of abstracted shrubbery, the lopsided black rectangle beckons us back into time itself, our destination forever a mystery.

It's the coppery look, and the Roman arch, that gives this image a commonality with the North Africa, which was once a Roman province. Thanks for the observation, Tim.

This reminds me of Tunisia - perhaps there is a commonality throughout the desert world.
