This was this evening on my way home.  It's a quiet drive up Gates Pass Road.  And then, 10 minutes later...

Michael,

Thanks; we could use some rain...

Debra,

We're blessed to be closer to the equator, I think.  I grew up in the rainforest of South America, and we had breathtaking sunsets there too.

Ann,

We saw on the TV that Flagstaff is seeing frost on the pumpkin!

Jesse & Cathy,

I'll bet Fairbanks is seeing more than frost...  LOL

Judy,

It was spectacular!

Steve,

Thanks for stopping by!

Matt,

Thanks for being the first to comment; you'll have to make the trek one of these days.

Mike - Is this normal or unusual for Tucson. If it's normal, I'm going to have to visit soon.

Funny, Saturday evening I was driving home here in Gilbert, AZ and saw the beautiful sunset and thought I nedd to bring my camera whenever I leave the house to capture these beautiful sunsets that only last a little while. You did it for me. Thank you.

Deanne,

NEVER leave home without your camera!

Susan,

It's awesome!

Larry,

It's not normal, but it's not unusual.

Laura,

I couldn't agree more.  Did you ever check out City Art in Columbia?

Charles,

That planet's called Tucson.  Come visit!

Bill,

Red sky at night...  And it's beautiful this morning!

Mike

It's the texture of the clouds that makes our sunsets so awesome on nights like this one.

Toula,

I will.  You, too!

Wow what an amazing sunset.  I can see now that the next time I'm driving out west I need to schedule my drive through the desert at night.  That would be worth the sun in my eyes for a few hours.
