Usually when I see photos of sunsets there is water involved. Being in the desert, there isn't much water to capture the setting sun. I hope the mountain range is a suitable substitute.

I reckon a nice silhuoette can set off a sunset better than choppy water can most of the time and here you prove the point brilliantly love couple of shots !! wow wish we had sunsets half that nice here

Beautiful sunset Mike. I love the mountain silhouettes. The desert produces some fantastic sunsets.

There certainly are beautiful sunsets out here....sunrises as well. These are nicely captured. I actually think very few of mine have water involved.

Nice sunset you have captured there. Though I would have preferred wider shot. But still, great shots.

Thanks, all for the comments. I would have loved to have gone wider, but it was taken from my backyard and wider would have put too may houses in the shot.

Well done. Yes, just a little wider would have been better.
