We were driving from Sedona into Phoenix. One of our “must see" items was to find Saguaros and take pictures! There wasn’t much info online on where to find a good picture spots along the drive, so I decided to share! After all that’s what counts in a blog post, right?
這次來到亞利桑那，其中一個願望就是可以跟高大的仙人掌柱拍照！如果你跟我一樣是從聖多那開車到鳳凰城、沒有時間南下到圖森（Tucson）國家公園、但又很～像和看仙人掌、和他們拍照的話，沒關係！一路上其實都有很多很多的仙人掌。
Driving on Highway 87, you will see lots of Saguaro along the road, a great number of them were unfortunately burnt by fire years ago. It was sad to see.
但畢竟在高速公路兩旁，可以停下來拍照的地方比較不好找。上網也不太查得到資訊，於是我們當天花了一點時間繞繞，終於找到這個拍照地，在這裡跟大家分享 ：）開在87號公路上，會看到公路兩邊滿滿的仙人掌柱。（有一大段被大火燒毀超級可惜）
What amazes me the most about Saguaro is how much time it takes for them to grow. they grow 1-4 inches every 10 years and don’t produce any flowers until 70 years later. They grow their first arm when they are approximately 100 years old.
仙人掌柱長得非常非常的慢，有長手手的都是將近100年了。他們也因為長得如此緩慢而珍貴。居民不可以隨便移動、砍下後院的柱仙人掌，這些都是需要官方批准的。
Anyway, back to the subject: Where to find this picture spot?
Here is a Google Map link for you :https://goo.gl/maps/qb9jQnzbLvMn2p7w9
I pinned down the exact spot, which is just off highway 87. Parking was easy too, since it was not a tourist spot. It’s just a little corner that we found; we were the only ones there.
回到正題：到底哪裏是拍照好地點？
這裏Google Map 連結直接貼給你https://goo.gl/maps/qb9jQnzbLvMn2p7w9
在87公路旁的一條小道，剛好停車也很方便（但大概只能停兩台）
因為這也不是真的觀光景點，當時就只有我們倆
These giants behind me are probably at least 200 years old. Aren’t they amazing? Here, we also saw a Saguaro with flowers. Look closer, you can see bees flying around to collect pollen.
在我身後的五柱仙人應該都至少兩百歲以上😯
有幾株仔細看頂端上冒了花，還有蜜蜂們在採蜜
Look at them, take pictures with them, admire them, but please don’t touch them.
If you have time to pass by Old Town Scottsdale, they have some pretty cool bars+fine art galleries that’s worth checking out. They’ve got cacti too!
如果你有時間經過斯科茨代爾老鎮(Old Town Scottsdale) 的話， 我推薦傍晚的時候到主要大街上走一走，酒吧夜店配上精品畫廊的鮮明對比是一種很有趣的氛圍
