    … is One’s way to describe this sunset image and she decided she liked it so much that she became part of the image. I’ve spent a substantial portion of the past several days going through the portfolio looking for skies that I can use with the sky replacement tool in Photoshop; the program comes with many stock photos, but I opted to delete them all and use my own sky photos for those rare instances when I want to replace the sky in an image. This is a shot that I took from just outside my front door exactly ten years ago today during another beautiful monsoon season. The sun had already set behind House Mountain the sky was aflame.

    The monsoon storm in the photo below was taken about two weeks after the shot above and a full on monsoon storm(s) was in progress. I was a few miles NNW of Cottonwood and shooting more or less towards the N. The large storm/rain cell was maybe a mile or so in diameter and dumping heavily on Casner Mountain and on the back side in Sycamore Canyon and also into the valley on this side. Numerous other cells were roving around the plateau as well. On the horizon to thee left of the big cell is Sitgreaves Mountain … Kendrick Peak and the San Francisco Peaks were behind the rain cells that were dumping.

    Into a new week and wow … that is cool … breathing, smiling and the opportunity to do amazing things … a moment at a time. Share a smile with someone today … you’ll get one back!

    Cheers,

    I see there is a good deal of grandiloquence in my book—my friends and foes have told me.
     
    I think it must be true, for the is a good deal of grandiloquence in me—and in nature also;
     
    I saw a sunset last evening that was a gross imposition upon modesty;
     
    And no artist would have had the hardihood to paint that western sea of flame as it was there painted on the curtain of the coming night.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
