Super capture Ryan! That sunset moment was a precious one! What's interesting always is the clarity of the desert air. The cloudshapes and the colors stand out even better because of the dry surrounding desert air it seems.

So true Paul! Our environment and atmospheric conditions during the summer are such that our storms look much different than what you see almost anywhere else. We get a lot of virga where the rain falls from the cloud but the air below is so hot and dry that the water droplets evaporate before hitting the ground. So it'll be raining directly over you but you feel nothing other than an occasional rogue drop that might land on your arm briefly before disappearing. The Arizona desert region is of course famous for the colorful sunsets and that is a year around phenomena, not necessarily related to thunderstorms (though the storms do enhance the sunsets significantly if they maintain their structure). Glad you are enjoying my videos and find them as fascinating as I do. See you on the next video which is coming soon!

Thank you Lori! Some people think photography is an easy job, but none of them have tried to capture anything beyond the view of their car window on the main highway. Fortunately I have my little 4wd pickup truck that allows me to go almost anywhere I want if I feel like running my innards through a paint shaker!
