Desert Sunset

For those of you who have been fortunate enough to experience a desert sunset, you know how beautiful they can be.  In fact, the desert is well known for it’s spectacular sunsets.

This photo was taken outside of my front door.  Storm clouds were on the horizon, headed our way from California.

    A magnificent, breathtaking sunset! I hope those crimson clouds didn't wreak havoc once they turned into a storm.

    Wondeful picture. It takes the smoke from the steel mills to give us a sunset like that.

    I did not know that desert sunsets were especially colorful, but I see that they certainly are! I've never seen such depth of color in a sunset. It's gorgeous.

    The sunsets in Arizona are the absolute best in the world. I have to say though that I prefer the sunrises most. If God had a face I think that might be it.
