A Late Spring Sunset over the Desert

Quail Creek, AZ

Its been a warm week, and getting warmer, esp for March.
This sunset appeared last night, so I grabbed the phone and shot.
Some brilliant warm colors.

This really is wonderful...strongly reminds me of Gone With the Wind, several scenes...burning of Atlanta? Traveller

PS Thanks for the Link Paul...hopefully this will not be too much of a disaster...but are winds this strong even remotely normal? Travelller

"The USACE doesn’t know if any fuel from the tank is leaking into the water yet. McCoy said that it is likely that most of the fuel is still contained within the fuel cell as there is not a large fuel sheen on the water.

“Safety is our number one priority, we are working closely with the contractor to remedy the situation as soon as possible and are committed to open...."

Stunning sunset which likely is a pretty common occurrence in your part of the world. It’s 17 here right now but yesterday was 12 and the winds were insane with wind chills well below zero. Many schools closed because of the wind/cold and a barge carrying 1800 gallons of diesel fuel sank in Tuttle Creek reservoir a couple hours west of here in the flint hills likely due to the wind. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fuel-barge-carrying-1-800-181246702.html Paul
