As I was leaving an appointment mid-afternoon, the sky looked like it could get very nice around sunset. I grabbed my camera and made a quick dash to Sky Harbor to see if I could catch a few pigs in some nice light. The moving clouds and setting sun created some excellent warm tones that mixed wonderfully with the cool shade. The FedEx A300 came in after the sun was starting to disappear below the horizon.

Jeff, great light and clouds on the box haulers and a beautiful pan shot on the SW. Gettin' better with age.

Thanks Harvey. Great conditions make this photography "thing" much easier - even for an old man like me.

Went in search of the last full moon of 2013, but the clouds won.
