Day #36 - A peculiar sunset

I was housesitting on the far east side of town, and happened to be driving east as a big monsoon storm rolled in. The sun was setting in a blaze of color behind me, but it was nothing but grey swirling clouds to the east. Suddenly, this otherworldly spot of color flared behind the clouds. It lasted for a couple of minutes - a bizarre trick of reflection and refraction. I've never seen its like.

Day #30 - Sunset

One of the best parts of monsoon season is the incredible sunsets that result from all the moisture in the air. This one was taken from my old front yard (now, sadly, a vast parking lot for an LA Fitness).

Day #8 - Iowa from the I-80

In just over a week, I'm flying up to Iowa (Davenport) to help my best friend move back to Tucson. We'll be loading up the mini van with the kids and pets, two coolers of various snacks, and an almost never-ending stream of Veggie Tales sing-along opportunities.
Flashback to 2002 - my first post-collegiate trip to IA to catch a Rush show. This shot is a November sunset from the I-80 somewhere near Ames. This time around we'll be on the 80 for sunrise, and it should be a markedly colder landscape. Brr.
