Monsoon evening, Saguaro National Park
I took a drive over to Saguaro National Park (west) last week after work to squeeze some photography in. We had some nice light and clouds at dusk - I took this with a 80-200 lens, looking up at the mountain range where Gates Pass Rd travels thru. Thanks for looking.

The mountains frame that sweet sunrise nicely. I hope they change the background of NPN/RMNP to a darker grey soon as has been suggested because this looks a whole lot better against a darker background.

Fred, I like the combination of blues and orange/pinks in the sky. The mountain silhouette cradles the sky nicely, but I'd wish for just a little more black mountain on the bottom.

Thanks for your comments John & Doug. I like your idea about more black mountain at the bottom ...

I just got back from there (see post above)--pretty shot, Fred!
