Yuma, AZ Dusk

I dug this one out of my archives. I took this with my first digital camera, a Canon G1. back in the day it was a great camera. I took several shots of these mountains over the course of an hour as the sun was setting. A half hour prior to this shot the sky was electric blue with a full moon rising. The array of colors in the desert is simply stunning as the light changes.

Swansea Bay, Wales

I don't know why, but the English give the Welsh a really bad rap. Especially Swansea, Wales. The Welsh were extremely generous and welcoming. We figured that the two largest cities in Wales, Cardiff and Swansea were very industrial and shipping oriented at one time, but today these towns are in transition and are very lively and beautiful. There are a ton of new buildings going up. They seem to be in a bit of a renaissance.

I guess it's the same as the New York vs. New Jersey battle. If you've ever been to the Jersey Shore, you would probably have something different to say as it is beautiful.
