Title
Sunset - July 24th 1999
Artist
Douglas Taylor
Medium
Photograph - 35mm Film
Description
Driving home after a hot and fruitless day attempting to capture a completely different kind of image, I looked back to see this view of the sun setting into the silhouettes of saguaro cacti. To this day I can still walk to the very spot on the road west of Tucson, Arizona where I stopped. It was one of the most intense sunsets I could ever imagine witnessing without a great volcanic eruption somewhere. It really is a case of going out, looking for one thing, and capturing something entirely different instead.
This photograph was made on 35mm film at Saguaro National Park, west of Tucson, Arizona.

It looks as if a giant fireball has hit the earth as it came crashing down from space. That is one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen. You can just feel the energy. The silhouettes of the saguaro really set this off beautifully. Amazing image, Douglas! L/F Featured in American Desert Southwest.
