Tucson Sunset

One of my favorite cities for beautiful sunsets in Tucson, Arizona.  I don't know why, meteorologically speaking, it sports some spectacular skies as the sun sets but I just know it's totally awesome.

Missing - One Dome

Mission San Zavier just south of Tucson, Arizona never had both domes.  And they decided to leave it that way.  Built between 1783-97, this Franciscan mission is called the "White Dove of the Desert" and is an impressive example of Spanish mission architecture which distinighuishes it from other missions.

Catalina Mountians at Sunset

Sunset in Tucson offers a multitude of awesome sights.  No matter which way you look, north, south, east or west, the fading rays of the sun paint colorful portraits.  Just be sure to carry your camera.

Sunset in Tucson

I've joined some friends in Tucson to shoot photos and enjoy the scenery. It's been several years since I've been here and the town is growing. Today we spent most of the day driving and seeing the rural sights near the Mexican border. I mean dirt road rural and cattle ranches. It was beautiful. But not as gorgeous as the sunset that awaited us when we returned to Tucson.

San Xavier Mission

As luck would have it, the tech guy made a late night call (on Sunday no less) and I have internet!!! So here's today's photo. The White Dove of the Desert. As the mission is so affectionately know as for it's pristine white exterior. We didn't go inside as there was a long line, but we did a 360 and took lots of photos. don't you just love that clear blue sky?
