Mountains and Clouds


It is a dramatic partnership, that of mountains and clouds. Add a low pressure cold front and the drama is heightened. The clouds are titanium white on top, grayish black underneath. Mountaintops lie hidden. Above, the blue sky fills in the picture, like some sort of eternal backdrop that is undisturbed by the turmoil of weather.

Shadows creep across roadways and crawling over mountains. Those evening shadows, dark gray shapes that bring night to the desert, are captured in this image, taken about an hour before sunset north of Tucson yesterday.
