Sunset at my home tonight

[MrFotoFool]

I walked outside my condominium to take out the trash and saw this sunset. I ran inside and grabbed my camera: A74 (with battery grip) and FE 200-600 (on a Really Right Stuff tripod).

• FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS

I like that a lot. Great silhouette.

Thanks. Saguaro cacti are made for sunsets, as they make ideal silhouettes.

This one is not right in my yard, but a couple miles up the street last night. It is the spot where everyone in Tucson goes to watch the sunset, called Gates Pass Overlook.

That’s a lot of cactus. I presume it’s natural for the region?. We have nothing like it, here. We do have Malley scrub out towards Cobar, where eagles build nests in the tallest “tree” around, which might only be 6 foot off the ground. They look embarrassed, quite frankly.
