One thing I LOVE about Arizona is the big endless sky and the beautiful, breathtaking sunsets. I saw these clouds on the way home from an outing with the kids. As I pulled into the driveway, the sky was vibrant with color. I parked the car and ran into the house, grabbed my camera and leaped into the backyard and started shooting. Within 2 minutes the colors had faded away completely and the kids had made their own way in from the garage. :)

This picture was taken from a nearby park while the kids played on a beautiful evening. There were just enough clouds in the sky for a magnificent 24 karat sunset. I promise not too bore you with too many sunset pictures, but they are some of my favorites!
Your two splendid sunsets reflect Nature’s majestic explosions of color which paint the Big Sky orange and gold, respectively. The gorgeous clouds conjure up Olympian deities rejoicing in a final riot of excess before twilight fades into night.
ReplyDeleteThe sensitive optics of the lower picture are so refined that they capture the crepuscular rays of fading sunlight beaming through the blueness like muted searchlights. One also appreciates the careful composition of earth and sky as proportioned by the silhouetted trees
Gorgeous! And so much warmer than Wisconsin!
