I think the bell towers at Jokake Inn are gorgeous. You can see the silhouette of the bell. I took this photo with the last rays of the sun hitting the plaster walls of the bell tower. The sun's rays gave the building a magnificent glow.
The Jokake Inn is located on the grounds of the Phoenician Resort and Spa in Scottsdale.
I thought this was a perfect choice for Arizona's Theme Day of "Arizona's Treasures," which is being celebrated today.

I think so too. The color is amazing. very interesting texture too.
Here is a bit of trivia about the Jokake Inn. If any of your readers have seen the movie "Raising Arizona" with Nicolas Cage, they might recognize it. The facade of the Jokake Inn was used as the house of Nathan Arizona, the unfinished furniture dealer whose baby was kidnapped by Nicolas Cage's character.
I particularly like the silhouette of the bell on the tower. The colour is fantastic.
elle est magnifique, cette couleur et l'ombre de la cloche. une très belle architecture.
it is splendid, this colour and the shade of the bell. a very nice architecture
Very nice, Julie.
Fantastic terracotta colour.
This is a really successful shot, Julie.
A marvellous image. Such rich colors! Very well done:-)
It is interesting to me. I wonder the significance of the bell in the bell towers.
Here, in the late 1800s, big old three story farm houses were built with a watch tower on top and a bell tower either inside it or next to it.
I did some investigating and learned that it wasn't an alarm thing for Indians, but it was a call to dinner for the farmers and workers in the fields. The housewife could stand up there and survey the fields and see the farmers working and rang the bell. Dinner time.
Magnificent glow is right! It's gorgeous Julie.
Very nice Julie. I love the shadowed bell in the tower and the lighting.
Julie, the color of the plaster walls is incredible. It's a great way to showcase the silhouetted bell. If this isn't a treasure, I honestly don't know what is.
Great color in this shot. Looks like a beautiful place.
I love that terra cotta color, and the sunlight hitting it looks so warm and pleasing.
A breath-taking photo.
Gorgeous is the right word! And the light is wonderful.
Gorgeous light and colour!
Hello Julie! Wonderful angle and colour in this picture!
Great work!

It is a good choice for your theme! I like it very much!
The light is fantastic here, Julie! Perfect timing!
Love this shot of the "last rays" hitting this beautifully colored and textured tower. So calming and inspiring, and I feel like I'm actually there. Thanks so much for sharing, Julie... I feel truly blessed...

Yes, the towers are great!
I do love bells, as they bring people together across all continents, all faiths...probably the only true sound possible.
Nice pictures. These structures look really beautiful!
