We drove up Sentinel Peak last night before sunset and climbed almost to the top. Tucson's downtown lies to the east and the Santa Catalina Mountains loom beyond. Two bright lines of lights -- red taillights and white headlights -- scribed the north-south route to the Mexican border.
The distinctive jags of Picacho Peak are distant in the center of this photo. From Sentinel Hill to Picacho Peak is about 38 miles as the crow flies. There have been two days of high winds and the dust in the atmosphere helps create the soft peach and pink glow of the sunset.
