Sunsets in New Mexico can be amazingly beautiful and when I notice an orange glow outside of my windows in the early evening, I grab my camera and head outside! This particular sunset was captured right outside of my home and I added the ubiquitous chamisa bushes and the lone tree, a typical sight in New Mexico.
Santa Fe has such dramatic sunsets due to the combination of high altitude, low humidity, and clean, dry desert air, which minimizes light scattering and allows for brilliant, vibrant colors and creates a dramatic, palette of deep oranges, reds, and purples.
