The desert is a capricious lady, and sometimes she drives men crazy.
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
Below is the original photo used to create this image. This was taken on my last night in Arizona, just outside of Mesa during a recent vacation. The skies had been almost crystal clear, and I was grateful to have a vibrant sunset, I kept excusing myself from dinner to run out to the parking lot to take more pictures. I especially love how the cloud formation looks like a bird in flight, a Phoenix perhaps… No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
