Description
This is the evening view of the Foothill, Arizona which is a few miles from Yuma. It seems like we have many sunsets like this one.
The color is cause by: During evenings, or indeed some mornings, the sun is lower in the sky, this means that the light from it has to pass through a greater amount of atmosphere to reach the point that you are at. Due to this, it now filters out all parts of the light spectrum except for the red light, meaning the sky appears red. This is also why, on some rare occasions, the sky can appear green.

What a beautiful sky, scene and capture. So very many years ago when I was learning photography, one of my favorite magazines was Arizona Highways for the magnificent photography of, and articles about, the great variety of Arizona landscapes. This reminded me of the many days that I spent loving those photos and wanting to visit. L/F
