as it flows through Davidson Canyon 12-13-07
Cienega Creek flowing under the train trestle 12-13-07Cienega Creek flows down from Davidson Canyon as one of the only permanent streams here in the desert southwest. Home to birds and wildlife, it has been deemed an "Outstanding Water of Arizona." If either the Rosemont Mine or the Cal-Portland Cement and SEEL mines go in all their water run off will flow downstream, affecting this pristine natural area. Birds have used it as a home and a migratory stop off for ages. In a very short time it could be destroyed.
In the desert it is all about the water.

Such a beautiful little creek. It must run bigger during the rains. Would be a total waste and shame to destroy. Fight those A....holes.
Nice shade of blue.

I hear you. I miss the water more than anything else. Here we don't even have little creeks. Yours are wonderful.
In the desert, you can't help but realize the power of water. Salt Creek in southern Utah is an area that Canyonlands park service finally closed to vehicles, keeping the area pristine. Terrible to even consider mining activity near your pristine stream.
I'm hoping it's not ever destroyed.
Beautiful shots!
Both pictures are great, but the first one is stunning!!
Well done
Have a nice SWF
Good luck, Kathie. Those mines sure do cause a lot of water problems in the west don't they.
I vote for the wildlife.
Beautiful winter skies, Kathie. I hope it stays intact, that place.
Really Lovely shots...that is a great area!
Spoiling yet more water?! When will we learn. Perhaps only when the birds and deer are long gone and we're the ones dying of thirst, I fear!
Great post and photos as usual.
In answer to your questions.
