Description
Fantastic sunset views await you, from Freeman Trailhead, in the Arizona Sonoran Desert's Saguaro National Park!! Even this more than 100 Year Old Saguaro Cactus lifts its arms in praise of the beauty before it!! The sun is getting ready to set, peering through the clouds over the Tucson Mountain Range. Giving a beautiful blue hue to the valley of Tucson, Arizona USA. So I ask, "HOW BLUE IS MY VALLEY?" Your answer please!

Stunning capture Janet, gorgeous blue tones! L/ f
Janet Marie replied:
Thank you SO much, Kim. It was a beautiful sunset that day at Saguaro National Park East-Rincon Mountain District. A great place to stand during our summer sunsets, as the sun sets behind the Tucson Mountain Range. Behind those mountains is the Saguaro National Park West-Tucson Mountain District. Arizona sunsets certainly are stunning.
Charlene Adler
Love the very realistic desert landscape. The blues and peach background are beautiful.

Thank you Charlene. Arizona sunsets are quite awesome, one just has to be ready to photograph their beauty. The colors are ever changing.

Thank you so much Chance, for your visit and your appreciation for the beauty at Saguaro National Park. This spot is a great place to view the sun setting over the Tucson Mountains, in midsummer.

How wonderful! I appreciate you letting me know. Right above the thank you I left you 17 days ago. I guess it does take a little bit of time to get there. I am delighted that it looks beautiful.

Steve Henderson
This is very beautiful, Janet -- and unexpected. The deep blues of the sky and horizon add a sense of cool reflection to the landscape.
Janet Marie replied:
Steve! What a pleasant surprise! I was just thinking about you and your artwork. Of course I see you everywhere and love to comment on your talent. Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your luscious words about my photography. I am glad you like it and found it unexpectedly beautiful. It was a marvelous sunset at Saguaro National Park (1 of 3 National Parks in the state). A favorite place for me to visit to capture glorious sunsets without the hint of man made objects to obscure my view. And of course to capture the Saguaro Cactus, unique only to the Sonoran Desert. I am delighted you enjoyed the journey. 💕Janet
