Description
This was one of those evenings when I thought would have a really spectacular sunset. It didn't, but I came back with this dramatic shot. I was going to take a long exposure on film, but forgot my tripod mount. I then decided to use my P&S digital camera. The flash on the camera lit up the sunflowers, with the natural light in the background. Hidden in the dark clouds in the center is Socorro Peak (M-Mountain). The streaks coming through the clear sky are called virgas (a Spanish term), which is rain which evaporates before it hits the ground.
