Arizona Skies

I did not adjust the colors to get this picture. The sky is really that incredible.

All my life, I wanted to get out of the desert. I considered the desert a dry, barren, ugly place. Why do so many people like living there? So I escaped. I'm now back, and while I still believe that the land elsewhere is much more beautiful, my break from the desert made me realize how stunning the skies are here. The past couple of weeks, the sky has been especially beautiful. While walking out of the grocery store tonight, I was so impressed with the sky, I couldn't resist using modern technology that I keep on me most of the time to snap a picture (cell phones are pretty amazing).
