Moon.

There’s going to be quite a bit of photographic content on the blog over the next few days as I try out all the features on my iPhone 16 Pro.

Tonight I was inspired by the Moonrise behind the Rincon Mountains to the east of Tucson. The Rincons are about two miles from the house, and often make for some dramatic photographs.


This photo captures a serene desert scene at night. The foreground is filled with various desert plants, including what appears to be a large saguaro cactus standing tall, silhouetted against the horizon. The sky above is dark, with a scattering of stars visible in the upper portion, creating a peaceful and somewhat mystical ambiance. There are clouds illuminated by either moonlight or distant lighting on the horizon, contributing to a subtle glow behind the desert vegetation. The overall tone of the image is calm, with the warm hues of the desert floor contrasting against the cool, deep blues of the night sky.
