Winter Sunrise in the San Simon Valley
With sunrise views of Portal Peak and the Chiricahua mountains and sunset views of the Peloncillo mountains the San Simon Valley has spectacular views everyday. Below are 2 images of the morning view of the Chiricahua mountains taken just a short time apart. The first, a large panorama shows the view as sun was cresting the Peloncillo mountains illuminating the Chiricahuas, while the second image shows Portal Peak just a short time later with the valley in complete sunlight. The changes in lighting and cloud cover create completely different impressions of this sky island in southeastern Arizona as seen from the Painted Pony Resort in southwestern New Mexico.

It was a beautiful sunrise!
ReplyDeleteI quite agree. As soon as I stepped outside and saw the mountains I knew there was a photograph, so turned around and went back inside and got the camera.
