Lamps of La Placita - Tucson, Arizona

North of the Tucson Convention Center, and just south of Broadway, was a colorful collection of offices and businesses called La Placita. You'll find zillions of photos of La Placita all over the Internet. I decided to focus on the lamps... as well as the a nice way to get to La Placita, over the Garces footbridge (which crosses Broadway and Congress).

Unfortunately, this vibrant complex was torn down in 2018.

That last image is false-colored (but fitting, with La Placita behind). I made it with the free and fabulous GIMP editor.
