When Life Gives You Lemmons [5_021619]

After sunset, cars head down the 9,157 foot high Mount Lemmon north east of Tucson Arizona. Mount Lemmon is a popular summer destination because when temperatures soar to 100 F in the summer, Mount Lemmon is usually a comfortable 30 degrees cooler.

 

In this case I couldn't resist the vista near the formation known as General Hitchcock where granite stacks below and above stand watch through eons - silently observing the passing bicycles and motorists. Including the loud obnoxious ones who find sport shouting loudly as they drive by: "DON'T JUMP", "BWAHAHA!" and so on.

 

The foreground rocks were lit by my 200 lumen LED flashlight. Celestial lighting by the sun. Distant lights by Tucson Electric Power.

 

Before sunset, the scene looked more like this.
