Edge of the Storm

This shot was taken in the Tucson Mountain Park during monsoon season at sunset, looking southwest into the Sonoran Desert. An intense monsoon storm, just to the south in Avra Valley, was producing strong downdraft winds, causing dust to rise high into the atmosphere. Combined with the sun's rays, this spectacular color event was created. This is number eleven in a series of sixteen shot on 8/13/07, west of Tucson Arizona.

 

This photo placed FIRST in "Nature's Pot-of-Gold", #2 Sunrise/Sunset Den {Round 30}. Thanks Everyone!
