After Sundown

Joshua Tree National Park, California
_RP1316611.
A layer of blue--the earth's shadow-- rose along the skyline, just below the clouds that were beginning to take definition as sunlight scattered color high into the atmosphere. This is no special place in Joshua Tree, just a piece of desert where it felt right to set up my gear and await the sunset. Remembering to look behind me, the show was here in the eastern sky, gathering the last of the light while the landscape gave up its collected warmth in a subtle glow.
