Tucson, AZ: Sunset at G5


Tucson sunset at G5, Gates Pass Road. August 2019.



Arizona is so carelessly extravagant with her sunsets, you'd think her audience would get rather blasé about them after viewing twenty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand.

But no, the flamboyant sunsets transfix us every blessed time, both in person and vicariously, via other people's photos. We stop what we're doing, inhale deeply, and emit a long, breathy wowwww.




I've embarked on a desultory hunt for the best perch in Tucson for sunset bagging.

I've cased the Hacienda del Sol sunset and the Unity sunset. Today I present the G5 audition.

G5 is the name of a scenic pullout on Gates Pass Road. I dipped in and out of Gs 3, 4, 6, and 7 before settling on 5 for last evening's sunset show.
