Good night, desert land

Summer is coming to a close, and in true Hollywood style, I think of the sun setting, as people drive away into the sunset.

The Southwestern deserts provide a wonderful landscape for dreamy backdrops such as this one--the perfect combination of some swirly clouds, and somehow bright pastel colors that give a last-minute light-up to a big sky.

The shadows of Joshua Trees carve out the key contrast.

This photo makes me think of home.
