Approaching Storm

Monsoon storm clouds along the Tucson Mountain range, create a beautiful display at sunset. This shot was taken along the Santa Cruz river near Tucson Arizona.

 

This is the season in which a shift in the prevailing wind brings a dramatic increase in rainfall to the usually dry desert areas. In the southwest this moisture comes mainly from the Gulf of California, July to mid September.
