Default Sunrise over the Sonoran Desert
During a recent hot air balloon shoot, I got up before the sun...and I'm glad I did. This is the first time I pulled myself out of bed in time to catch the sun on camera! The sun peeking over the Catalinas lit up the red rocks and cactus! The last one was shot in vivid mode, and is just as it came out of my camera. Thanks for looking!

The eye of God...

The early bird catches the shot! The sunrise picture is gorgeous - I love the halo. The crop and composition are spot on. And the colors in the other two are amazing. I love saguaros

Beautiful shots Jim. Love the golden colors the sun cast on the last two.

Wow, these are all stunning Jim. Love the fall colors with cacti dotted around! Don't see many cacti in this part of the US!

Up by the base of Sombrero Peak, NW side, where Silverbell Rd meets the foothills there.

Thanks!

What a photographic feast you've served up here, stunning colours seen by so few, and more now shared with so many, another top quality set Jim

Love the sunrise shot. It looks very sensual. A lovely set of shots. It paid to get out early
