Sunday on the Sunset Side

Dr. K, Becca and I began our weekend hike on the west side of Tortugas (Tortoise) Mountain this morning while the sun hid behind high clouds.

These clouds had a Horsehead Nebula feel about them.

The desert was alive with vivid light.

Cloud shadows came and went.

At one point, the whole western side of Tortugas seemed to be in shadow.
