I was driving home a couple of nights ago, with the sunset behind me and a glowering storm ahead, the skies dark and split by lightning, but illuminated at the same time by the rose and lavender hues of the sun going down through a sky colored by smoke from some area wildfires.
This isn't the world's greatest photograph, but it shows Davis Road, which goes from just outside Tombstone down into the valley, eventually merging with the road that runs past our place, and it's representative of the views that sometimes distract me from my driving.
Stunning photograph. Did you take that with a cell phone camera, or a high quality digital camera, Jeff? That's the kind of pic you want printed out in 15x10 and framed on the wall.

Thanks, Kelly! I haven't tried printing this one yet. I use a Canon EOS 20D digital camera. My cell phone only makes phone calls (barely) and that's the way I like it.

The Canon EOS is a superb semi-professional camera. Your cell phone only makes phone calls? No games? No weather updates? No stock reports, calculator or GSP navigation? *shudder*
Dude, you are living in the Dark Ages!

It doesn't make phone calls when I'm at home, because the hills around us block the signals. My printer doesn't do anything but print, either--doesn't scan, doesn't fax, doesn't walk the dogs. I just like to keep things simple.
