Kitt Peak, Thimble Peak, Tucson Twilight

Tucson, AZ

*** Best view at original size ***

Kitt Peak and the National Observatory site is off in the background, some 60 miles away.
If you look closely you can see the small silhouettes of some of the many telescopes on the complex.
Thimble peak is on the closer mountain range just to the right of Kitt Peak in this image.

Nice peak at the city lights through the notches, and nice mellow pinks in the layered clouds. V
