Summer in New Mexico is wildlife season. Things are very dry, and temperatures are high. Back in 2011, there was a huge wildfire in New Mexico known as the Las Conchas Fire.
One evening during the fire I drove to the western side of town to photograph this scene. The sky was a brilliant orange and yellow, and it silhouetted several large electrical towers. The yellow area just above the horizon in the middle of the picture is where the sun is setting. The rest of the color is from the fire. The image is both beautiful and tragic at the same time.
This lovely sunset was photographed in late July 2017 in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya.
Unseen in the foreground was the so-called Lion Rock, a large rock formation on which a large pride of lions liked to rest in the morning after a night of hunting, and to look for prey in the evening before heading off to hunt.
This beautiful sunset was photographed in Kenya. I have seen many beautiful sunsets in east Africa.
