The sunset wasn't that great, but I did get that typical desert orange colour. I've cropped this image to remove the blacked-out landscape.
Tucson Trek: Part IV
So after spending 2.5 hours at the desert museum, I drove back to Tucson to visit the Center for Creative Photography. It houses the largest collection of prints by North American photographers, and specifically, the man himself, Mr. Ansel Adams. They have one gallery devoted to Adams, but it only has about 12 photos up at a time, so it was a bit disappointing. The photos were awesome though, it goes without saying. They also had an exhibition of Harry Callahan, whom I had never heard of before (not that I claim to know anyone outside of Ansel Adams). His work is quite different from Adams: instead of depicting all the glorious details of nature, he breaks it down into its simpler aspects. It was very cool to see his works.
Anyhoo, enough blabbing. Afterwards, I was tired, so I decided to just head home. As it neared sunset, I decided to stop at Picacho State Park. I hiked up a little ways and took a few snaps.

They had two mountain lions at the zoo, and these pictures don't begin to demonstrate just how powerful and majestic they were.
