"Out the Window"

Tucson, AZ

So, the story behind this photo was that I was asked by a fellow PBaser, who lives in Montreal, if I could take a picture out of my window so he could see what it was like now in Tucson. This picture is the result, and while it was not taken out my window (shooting through glass, mesh and wrought iron bars would not allow for much of a photo), it was taken outside of my garage looking southwest, towards one of the mountain ranges, across my neighbor's yards. I took the picture right at sunset (6pm) and it was a nice 69degrees out. The scene will not change much through out the year, other than if it rains it will look wet, and once every few years, we may get a very small dusting of snow. If you you closely to the right you can see some blue, which is of a '72 Chevy S20 truck that is for sale.

Nice to see how it looks actually in Tucson, i see some green plants and cactus that would not survive to weather in a city where i live ,close of where lives PiJoly.

Thanks a lot Scott!
This picture is very exotic for us and full of plants we dont have here.

Clarification: I do not live in Montreal as such but rather in the south in a nearby country village,
Saint-Antoine-sur-Richelieux.
Here is a link that leads to the photo I took on the same day as you: https://pbase.com/image/171392356

And to respond to Mr. Neil Marcus' nice and funy comment below, if one day I have the chance to visit Tucson
it will not only be for the superbs skys but above all to meet the magnificent Scott. ;-)

What a great sky you had last night. Of course, having seen this in person, there are no surprises. ~V~
