Fiery sunset, Saguaro National Park, Tucson, Arizona, 2009

Instead of shooting the sunset itself, I shot its effect on the clouds that were exploding in the sky behind me. I use abstracted Saguaro cacti pointing skyward to frame the massive golden flow of evening clouds, to create a majestic and emotionally dynamic mood.

Yes, nature was putting on a show for us. And all of these Saguaros are watching it along with us. Thanks.

Nature's lightshow. There's a real feeling of movement and such drama in that sky, almost like an explosion behind the mountain.
