Sunlight reflects on a rainstorm during sunset in the high desert of Arizona.

Wow, fantastic capture! Where exactly did you take this shot? Closer up north?

**Bob Harris** · 11-08-2011, 11:27 PM

Adam, I took the photo yesterday at Homolovi SP off of I-40 near Winslow. Thanks for looking, glad you like the shot. Bob

That's a really neat shot, Bob! A golden opportunity and well captured.

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.

Lori, it was sort of a drab day and we were just sitting down for supper and the sun finally poked through and lit the landscape, so I rushed outside and took a couple of shots. thanks for looking Bob

Funny how those great sunsets often come after a drab day... great shot.

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

Great lighting Bob. One of those shots where you are at the right place at the right time. JIM

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.

The color is just amazing! Really nice shot Bob!! Tom

**paulh** · 11-09-2011, 04:48 PM

**Sailor** · 11-09-2011, 05:42 PM

Really nice, Bob - this one's a classic for sure. Super job.
