Montezuma Pass may be one of my favorite southern Arizona high desert photography spots. From this vantage point, like a meandering river that guides your eye as it gently cascades down a mountain pass, your view is transported from the summit to the fertile San Pedro valley.

As I stood atop this southern terminus of the Huachuca mountains this morning, I realized that we would not have the dramatic burst of color we expect with the days start. But, the cloud-shrouded skies, punctuated with river-like currents of rain, enhanced the view the overcast sunrise with a power of its own. There was a serenity in the tumult that set a positive mood for the coming day.

This image is a 14 shot panorama shot with a rig I put together for the coming Milky Way season. It is five feet wides by two and a half feet tall. The beauty of shooting a wide image like this is the depth of clarity provided by so many captured pixels. I am not sure how it will look with the limits of social media. The grand beauty it embodies is a testament to the glory of creation.

I remain his scribe.
