21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A fire red sky at sunset in the desert

A hillside in the Tucson Mountains in Saguaro National Park West is a blaze of color at sunset. I was in the city doing errands and planning to head out to the park as I drove home, and thought sunset was at a different time. When I realized that I might miss what I was planning to shoot, I made a mad rush and pulled over to the side of the road just after entering the National Park and shot this while sunset was at its peak of color.
