High Desert skies can be full of fiery emotions
Or calm and blue, framing peaceful works of art
Anxious herds of clouds can stampede across High Desert skies at dawn
Or settle over sleeping landscapes in warm, thick blankets at dusk
High Desert skies can be dark and uncertain
Or glowing with glimmers of hope and anticipation

High desert skies… endless inspiration and awe
Yes, you're right about that. Thanks!

Glorious skies you have here! I loved the photos.
Thanks, Egidio! Lots of picture perfect skies here. 🙂
You DO have a way with words Siobhan and your commentary on this one is nearly poetic. I loved your images! I'd think you'd enhanced them if I hadn't seen similar skies when visiting my brother in Arizona. Oh so colorful and beautiful
Thank you, Tina! Yes, desert skies are like works of art, aren't they?
Wow the skies look amazing.
Yes, they are, Teresa!
That red sky is stunning!
