Winter shadows
Last sunlight on the Front Range of the Santa Catalina Mountains. From my roof in midtown Tucson looking NE. What a grand place to live! The rocky peak left of center is Window Peak. Civilization lapping up against the slopes, which are protected from further encroachment by being a National Forest. The shadows change dramatically as winter changes to spring and summer, no longer approaching at an angle that emphasizes the canyons, since the sun moves further north.
