Shadow and Light

On the west side of Tortugas Mountain this morning Research Associate Becca and I saw some interesting patterns of light and shadow. Here's an example.

Here's another.

And yet another.

These yuccas, with the Organ Mountains in shadow in the background provide another example of the desert light.

Okay, so I ran out of shadow and light photos, but I offer up this shot of a balloon over the Mesilla Valley instead.
