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.

The title of this photo is "Nuns on the Mexican Riviera," and at first I took a look and thought: wow, these nuns really know how to take a vacation. I mean, just look at them standing out there on the big deck, enjoying the ocean breeze and the view.

Then, I looked again. Very funny, JimmyD! This is a trick photo. Look closer to see that there are no nuns in this photo, but rather a bunch of well-placed black umbrellas.

The most clever shot I've seen in a little while. Thought you all would enjoy this one in the spirit of those last minute summer vacations everyone is trying to squeeze in before the month's end.
