Tucson, Arizona sits in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, and one of the genuine and reliable rewards of spending winters here is the sunset. The combination of high desert elevation, dry low-humidity air, open western horizons, and the regular procession of high-altitude clouds rolling in off the Pacific produces evening skies that perform almost nightly — even on otherwise unremarkable days. After many seasons watching the western horizon from Western Way RV Resort, we still walk out a few minutes before sundown more often than not. Sometimes the show is quiet; sometimes the entire western sky catches fire. Either way, Michael’s camera stays close.
