Hermosillo Gold

El Centro de Hermosillo, Sonora Mexico a la hora dorada de anochecer.

Hermosillo downtown at the golden hour of dusk.

I’m not sure what causes this magical light, but it seems to be a result of certain cloud conditions and reflection from the desert terrain. I see it most often when there are some clouds in the sky. Clouds in the direction of the camera were scattered and thin this evening, but there were some tremendous pillowing clouds looming behind me.

Olympus E-3, Zuiko 14-54 mm f/2.8-3.5; f/8, 1/40 sec, ISO 100, 43 mm
