Gates Pass Sunrise: Tucson, Arizona

Sunrise In Gates Pass, Tucson, AZ

It's a sunrise photo ~ not a sunset.  We've had cloud cover and rain this past week, and I greeted the day on Saturday at Gates Pass, all the way out at the west end of Speedway Blvd.  "Red sky in morning, sailor take warning" was an apt saying for our day.  A front moved in, and it started raining last night.  Today, Sunday, it's still raining, and I think it's time for an afternoon nap!

Mike,

Glad you clarified that. Looks like a sunset, which means that you have gorgeous sunrises, too. :)

Absolutely beautiful, and yes I would have thought myself this was a sunset.

Not a palm tree in sight!  ;^D   This is my favorite of the bunch.  Love all the little silhouettes of the branches and bushes, in addition to the cacti.

No sailors in Arizona. Maybe the saying should be- Red sky in Gates Pass, cowboys rain to last

Another unbelievable shot, Mike!  Beautifully done.  I used to do some sailing and paid a lot of attention to what was happening in the sky.

I think you could change the name of your blog to:  Fire in the Sky  :-)

Have a great day!

Mike,

I like it!  Fire in the Sky...

Debi,

Thanks for stopping by.

Deanne,

LOL!

Doreen,

The long thin Ocotillo show well against the morning sky, don't they?

Lynda,

I knew that would be the case as soon as I saw what I had on the camera!

Steve,

Yes we do!

I love how after it rains, the ocotillo suddenly come to life with leaves and flowers.  So pretty.

ActiveRain needs to learn how to spell ocotillo.  They wanted to change it to some strange things...
