This is Prescott's signature sight - Thumb Butte.
It doesn't look very much like a thumb from this direction but from the north the resemblance is better.
The much more impressive sight is to the north - Granite Mountain.
The next several photos were taken, as were the previous two, from atop Prescott's parking garage. I think you can see why they're not included in brochures from the Chamber of Commerce.
The next one is kind of an exception to that rule when one crops out the wires and other stuff atop the building. It's the rear of the Jersey Lilly (second floor) and the Palace Saloon (ground floor). The owners have done their best to convey the western image.
But, looking toward the picturesque county courthouse, the view across rooftops returns to the ugly.
We just have to face facts. While somewhat interesting, the views of rooftops just aren't very scenic.
