Friday Fotos… Culture Club

Rainshadow Images by Audrey Kanekoa-Madrid

Thought this quote by Hans Magnus Enzensberger summed up this week’s theme rather nicely:

“Culture is a little like dropping an Alka-Seltzer into a glass-you don’t see it, but somehow it does something.”

Perhaps the number one thing that makes Arizona great is our diverse culture (and this week’s theme)… these influences — some of which you’ll see below — have helped to shape and define our state. And we think that’s a very good thing.

Enjoy our culture and keep posting your photos on our Facebook page.

Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to our blog for stories you won’t find in the magazine.
