Shadow Shot Sunday / Shadows at Sunset Crater, Arizona

These shadows were from our visit to Sunset Crater in Arizona last week. It was about 4:30 p.m. when the crater changes to a magnificent color because of the contrasts of basalt/lava rock against other mineral content near the top. We were rushing to not miss the prime time!

Fototriss / SKÖN / Sunset Crater, Arizona AND Color Carnival

The theme for Fototris is SKÖN which means "beautiful or nice" in Swedish.
These 3 photos were taken at sunset at Sunset Crater in Arizona, USA., last Saturday, November 21, 2009. The lava/basalt at the base creates a stark contrast to the higher elevation. This creates a scene that looks like a glowing torchlight during the hour before sunset.
