Desert clouds and shadows~SkyWatch Friday 121109







I'm always fascinated by the clouds and shadows that I see when driving back down to the desert after visiting my horses up in the mountains. To go from 4,000 feet to 200 feet above sea level is quite a dramatic change. The desert is especially interesting when clouds cast their shadows on it and I can see it from the mountains.

  1. The top photograph of these two is my favorite.

    I've never been to the dessert. When I enlarge the top photograph I see a very pretty blue sky with clouds. In the background I see what appears to be barren rock (a mountain chain?) with shadows on it from the clouds. In the foreground I see more mountains. Between the two mountain chains is the dessert. Is this correct?
