Walking a Trail and Watching the Sunset....

1/5/2015

 
(  Writing this from Darby Well Road in  Ajo, AZ  on January 5.  )
On January 4, the day after setting up at our new campsite, we drove into Ajo for groceries and to see the town.  The pictures of Ajo will be in a separate posting.  Right now we would like to share the walk we took, about a mile from our camp on Darby Well Road.

Interesting formation called Steam Engine Hill.
Picture
Organ Pipe Cactus.
Picture
Looking at some of the other available dispersed camping sites on Bates Well Road and Darby Well Road for future reference, lots of good ones.
Picture
Strange Saguaro Cactus, doesn't know which way they went.
Picture
Back to our campsite to cook dinner. Black Mountain in the background.
Picture
While cooking outside on the Coleman stove at 5:30, I am facing east, so I have to turn around to the west to take pictures of the sun setting.
Picture
But on the eastern horizon the sky is turning beautiful pinks and blues.
Picture
The camera goes around my neck so I can stir the soup and not miss any of the fast changing colors in the sky.
Picture
In the time it takes me to shoot the picture of the fuchsia sunset, I turn back to the east and the full moon has risen above the far mountain range.
Picture
As the sky turns almost dark this is how the Nikon lens captures the sky. I did not do anything to edit any of these pictures.
How do you like our friend, the one-eyed Saguaro, about 100 yards to the east of our campsite.  I didn't even realize he was in the photos until I downloaded, since I was so excited about the colors of the sky.
