The drive back (2)

Shot a few minutes after the photo in the last post. The setting sun and the light fog in the distance seem to airbrush the landscape at the distance.

The desert landscape is always at its best in the half-light of dawn or dusk. The last year's outing had been marred by a severe sandstorm. This evening, we were enthralled with a pristine sunset.
