Scottsdale October Sunset

I just walked out of our home in north Scottsdale, just west of Scottsdale’s Scenic Drive (N. Scottsdale Road), and there it was. A beautiful but rapidly changing sunset.

It’s late October, monsoon season, when storm cells sweep in late in the day. It’s not unusual for the monsoons to  create incredible scenery above. I ran back into the house, grabbed my camera, and took the images below.
