~ Weather moving in over the Tucson Mountains: 3D Sunset ~
After nearly 15 years in Tucson, you might think that I'd get jaded to these sunsets. Some do. Not me!
The lights had just blinked on when I left the office this evening. The view of the sky over Sunstreet Mortgage, LLC's Tucson offices is northeast. You can see it was clear.
To the west, though, a front was rolling in from California. They're promising rain this evening, and I knew that the setting sun was going to provide me with blog fodder.
I stopped at Starbucks for a fresh cup of coffee, and to kill about half an hour so that I could be on top of the hill west of Speedway and Silverbell at sunset.
Don't you love it when a plan comes together? It's not often that you'll see sunlight beaneath and above the clouds at the same time. The result seems three dimensional.
It never gets old. Thanks for stopping by for a smile at the end of your day!

Mike, your photographs only get more and more spectacular and what a reason to stop at Starbucks :)
Made my jaw drop open once again...and I LIVE here! Thanks Mike!
Cara,
Wasn't it just magnificent tonight?
Teral,
I just clicked the shutter. It makes me feel as if I'm taking advantage of the Creator. Hmm... There's food for thought. Thanks for being the first to comment.

Mike, You have another spectacular sunset. And I never get tired of seeing them. Thank you for sharing all of them.
Mike,
I feel the same about Lake Mead and the desert into it from Vegas.
Bill
Bill,
I'm with you all the way. Isn't the desert awesome?
Gary,
It's a good thing you don't get tired of seeing them. I'll have to browse my 900+ posts and see how many have sunset photos.
Lou,
It was even prettier in person!

I would move to Tucson just for your spectacular sunsets! You have me constantly looking at our east coast sky for photo opportunities. We do have a gorgeous full moon.

Mike - I love your pictures of the desert sky. Here in the east we rarely have sunsets like this.
Mike, I NEVER tire of our great Arizona sunsets - we are so blessed to live in this great state. And your photos are ALWAYS so inspiring. The clouds had already completely moved in by 2:00 PM here in Scottsdale and we had rain off and on all day - so no great sunset here. Maybe tomorrow as the storm clears out.
Although, I really do have to laugh at the newscasters tonight. "A major cold front will be moving through." Heck, we're going to only have a high of 65 F tomorrow, LOL.
Mike, I never tire of sunsets either. I try to take my dog for a walk right before sunset time - the reflections on the eastern mountains are sometimes as pretty as the sunset.
We have the perfect weather in Arizona during this time of year. Sunsets are the best. Nice shot
A spectacular shot, Mike. You have a wonderful weekend.
Incredible photo, it actually doesn't look real it's so spectacular! Your patience paid of.

Mike,
Another fine photo of the evening sky in your area. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Absolutely beautiful....
Wow! Mike, we don't have sunset like that here. Thanks for sharing.
Mike - another great picture and it looks like it's always warm, even though i know it's not
What magnificent photos you always show us! I love those colors! Beautiful AND amazing skies!
Almost looks like a volcanic sunset! Takes my breath away!

Mike, This sunset photo is so vivid and the colors are rich and beautiful. Nicely done!
