Description

N&L.I was chasing this storm until I notice it was falling a part out over what we call the Pioneer just south of Florence,Az.That gave me a great opportunity to shoot another sunset.Along the horizon you can see the lite color sand of a Haboob.

This is so beautiful, Bobby!!
Hard to believe that those threatening clouds and a major sandstorm could combine with the sunset and result in such lovely pastel colors. Wonderful work and capture, my friend! #10268700

They just keep getting better and better!!! This one's definitely a BIG WINNER in MY book! The image is incredibly beautiful, Bobby! The lighting and the sky are magnificent! Excellent capture and work! It's around 77 degrees F. today here in Toronto ... yesterday it was 87. Not bad compared to your 112! Stay cool, my friend! :) #10268712

Just like a western painting. Due to broken computer I can not post except very old photos that had no processing at all, bummer. Using office computer when I can to comment. Got some great photos while in Canada and can not get them off the CF card till computer is returned in a week or two. #10269130

frank w. degenhardt August 10, 2012

To have this kind of terrain to cross over, the ruggedness, the beauty in colors, the drama of the sky, a lone cactus standing out of it in that shape that is so associated with the wild west. No Bobby, I would trade all the kind of pictures I get a chance to take for sights like this. So beautiful my friend. #10270006

Laura E. Swan level-classic August 10, 2012

There was a day that Dale and I spent so much time in the desert. Often passing through but I had family there, too.

This capture brings it back to my heart one of the many reasons I loved it there. There is no place like the desert and no smells like it either after a good rain.

I used top stop at the desert gift shops (connected to Daily queens???) and buy incense made from desert plants. :) !!!

I miss those days, Bobby. I am sorry it's so hot there for you right now. Sure did get a beautiful shot standing out there however!!!

Great job!
