phoenician beauty

I took these pictures as I was on my way home from school. I was just walking along and then, BAM!, what beautiful colors against a gorgeous blue sky.

beautiful, yet cursed

As you can seen in the fourth and last picture down, as the sun was setting in the west, there were ominous clouds and even a rainbow arching across the desert sky. How wonderfully enrapturing must nature have been before we tainted it with the curse!

in a new light

These pictures are of the same storm and sunset, just with a bit of different lighting, though.

desert sunset & storm

I took these pictures just north of the Valley of the Sun near Anthem, AZ. It was incredibly gorgeous watching the storm pour down its welcome moisture as the horizon caught fire with the setting of the sun. Breath-taking.
