This scene captures a setting after a storm in Phoenix, Arizona. The natural light had a charming painterly effect on the landscape here seen in the red rock environs of Papago Park. The gnarled tree in the foreground adds a nice bit of mystery to the mood as well. Captured during the monsoon season in Phoenix, post-storm light is some of the most subtle and beguiling that can paint a landscape. I anticipated that this storm would end near sunset, and simply waited in my car for the light. Indeed, rain itself is such a rare occurrence in the desert here that watching it can be quite entertaining. This scene was captured with a tripod mounted Olympus E-300, and kit lens.
