How I Got This Shot: After moving my youngest child into her dorm at ASU and I officially became an empty-nester, I thought a sunset shot fit my mood. After looking for a shot at Thunder Hill Overlook, my son pointed out that the sky was more dramatic across the street. Tried several compositions, but ended up with this shot with the leading lines of the barbed wire fence. Did some post processing in Adobe Camera Raw.
