Here are some photographs of a spectacular sunset I captured during the end of March in Arizona. These images are within Coronado National Park, just outside Fort Huachuca, looking toward the Whetstone Mountains and Mexico.
The image above is overlooking the Whetstone Mountains about an hour before sunset. I was in the process of leaving Fort Huachuca, listening to classic rock tunes, and heading into Coronado National Park when I saw these clouds passing to my right. Clouds are a rarity in Arizona during spring. I decided to take my rental car over some rough terrain and head south to captures both the clouds and the mountains in the distance.
Once I photographed the Whetstone Mountains, I headed off Fort Huachuca and into Coronado National Park. Coronado National Park is a large protected forest, consisting of the Huachuca Mountains and beautiful vistas in southern Arizona. This image is looking toward the Mexican border just prior to sunset. The rain clouds continued to pass, with light rain showers forming just to the right of this image. I was sitting upon a hilltop, with the car doors open, with the radio blasting Pink Floyd, in the middle of nowhere as the sun headed for the horizon.
I had been in Arizona for two months and passed numerous windmills during my journey across southern Arizona. Windmills are a main stay on ranches and used to pump water from underground aquifers for grazing cattle. As I was making my way through Coronado National Park, I finally came across a windmill I could get close to without the fear of being shot for trespassing. Arizona in many ways is still considered the Wild West.
