Sunset in the Southwest by rosiekerr

Sunset in the Southwest

Traveled to visit family in Phoenix, AZ. This is the landscape at sunset. The back-lit cactus are called "teddy-bear" cholla. Pretty in the light, but they can cling to you with their thorns. I won't have much time for commenting over the next few days, since we are traveling. I hope to catch up with everyone after this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!
Lovely shot.

Really wonderful! I've taken so many photos of backlit cholla, but I always zoom in. Next time, thanks to your inspiration, I'll take a wider scene.

Reminds me of when I was in Scottsdale in September. Looking forward to your photos of the area. I love the backlit cholla.

Wow, gorgeous, almost alien landscape! I like the crazy mix of broken and smooth lines - the edginess of the mountains and the roundness of the cacti - all mixed in in a intricate light-filled pattern.
