In Search Of Lightning

Lugged Fancy Camera up on top of Goldmine Mountain, hoping to capture some lightning. No such luck but the sunset turned out to be pretty nice.

An absolutely insane sunset was going on behind me. I had glanced East while shooting the sunset and was intrigued by the soft pastel light.

Buckhorn Cholla Sunset

The sunset was casting a nice bronze glow over everything. I thought the cholla might reflect some of that.

The Southern half of the Goldmine Mountain climb. Behind me it's about 80 meters of climbing to get up to the saddle.

A short ways from the Wagon Wheel Road trailhead. You can just see a portion of the Dynamite Trail curving up to the right.

Sometimes the action to the East is better than the sunset to the West. I alway look in the opposite direction now when shooting sunsets and sunrises, in case there's an interesting light show that way.
