Congrats on the Finalist Patricia! I was just there today as a matter of fact... did you see the light on the McDowell Mtns this morning around 9am? Amazing! Of course, I got there AFTER the great light dissipated, lol.
Anyway, great composition and sky! #9867007

Thank you Neal, Nadia and Paul....This was a "lucky" shot....killing time waiting to see my doctor that day....what better way than sitting in a clinic for three hours....The sky was wonderful...even though it was mid morning....Thank you McDowell Mtn Park for the opportunity! Cheers All! #9867853
