Default Arizona Sunet

Arizona produces some of the most fantastic sunsets. Hope you enjoy these!

A beautiful offering after a day of 117 degrees in the shade. (I thought my camera was going to melt!)
Big Orange Ball

I don't usually do "tree" silhouettes, usually saguaro cactus. Thought I'd try something different.
Tree Silhouette Sunset

In Arizona, we have monsoons. You can see the rain falling miles away. Sure makes for a dramatic sunset.

Another monsoon storm with mountain silhouette at sunset.

I love it! It's something about the intense colors you get with a desert sun. The sun will be setting and the teperature is still above 110 degrees. Nicely done!

Well, for not usually doing "tree" silhouettes, you've outdone yourself! That's my favorite shot! All of them are gorgeous!

Thanks Mike! Your beautiful "Fire in the sky" submission inspired me to show a few Arizona sunsets. I just love the desert, in spite of the 110degrees!

I am blown away, these are outstanding captures. My fav is the first one, but love the clouds in the second and third. Good job.
