Canyon Lake: Fish Creek Hill: Beautiful Light

Fish Creek ill, AZ view map

NOTE: The colors shown on these are actually accurate when the WB is set to daylight.

This storm had come in from the East with nothing but clear in the far Western skies. The Sun ripped up the Phoenix pollution, through a series of showers and illuminated the red and yellow sandstone found in this area of the Superstition Mountains. By the time the Sunlight made it to Fish Creek Hill, it was so colored as to warp the entire landscape to a surreal painting.

This shot of the prickly pear cactus hanging on to life set to watch the sunset every night. Taken i the fading light of sunset with the sun well below the horizon but still lighting up the sky with enough red/yellow light to give this shot a wonderful look.

This is, by far, the best shot Ihave taken in the last 2-3 years. I really like this photograph.
