Wow wow wow... an amazing photo, such beauty in the lighting and I love the layering with the hills in the background, rainstorm in the middle and the grasses and shadow in the foreground. Very effective and beautiful.
thank you Tess, scenes like this only last a few minutes and I felt lucky to get the shot. Just another typical Arizona sunset. Bob

Funny how those great sunsets often come after a drab day... great shot.
Good point Norm, get them while you can because they won't be back. Take care, Bob

Great capture Bob.
I'm glad I was able to see that area for the first time last summer (family vacation to the Grand Canyon and surrounding "stuff") - or I'd have to think you might be pp'ing some of these shots. It's an amazing part of our country, and you're showing it off rather nicely.

(I wouldn't have believed that the skies could look like they go on forever - as in your "backyard" shot - if I hadn't seen it for myself!)

Thanks for sharing, and keep 'em coming,


Tim
Hey Tim, glad you appreciate these wide open landscapes since you have been there, done that. The sky is also a true blue, no contaminates in this part of the country. thanks for looking and commenting. Bob

Great lighting Bob. One of those shots where you are at the right place at the right time. JIM
Jim, you always stress lighting as a key to photography and being in areas that generally have bright sunlight, I jumped at the opportunity to take this photo. Thanks for commenting, always appreciated. Bob

It's a great shot Bob and way to wait it out - you have proven there is a shot a day at least no matter where you are at.
Hey Dave, yeah I have been trying that different shot a day for the last week or so, tonight it is Hennessy cognac. Thanks for looking, Bob
