Photo: Southern Sunset

Here is a photo of a sunset overlooking South Mountain and part of the downtown Phoenix skyline.

In the foreground you can see a manufacturing plant that used to be Motorola and now is Insight.

Today is Sunday so check out new travel photos of the magnificent Villa Monasterio on Lake Como at Viva la Voyage!

Your sunset with the former Motorola plant in the foreground causes me to reflect about the role of Motorola in the Vallley.

Motorola used to be the largest employer in the Phoenix area, and I think they have sold off all of their divisions that were located in Phoenix and no longer do any manufacturing in the area.

The legacy of Motorola is still present. The widow of the former President of Motorola formed the Virginia G Piper Trust and her foundation has ben a major benefactor of the arts, education and health care institutions in the Valley.

The photo does reflect on our present economy. Dave,did not know the Motorola Virginia Piper connection. That foundation has done so much good in the valley.

Another great skyline shot. You've capture the mid-town high-rise buildings along Central Avenue.
