Sunset from Sky Harbor.

SUNSET AT SKY HARBOR by Jonathan Navarro, on Flickr
A lot of things in the foreground that distract from the main purpose of the photo. This is the only good lightning shot I was able to get because it started raining and I had to run back inside my home. Luckily my camera didn't get to many rain drops.

Struggled a bit with whether to put this the non-aviation thread or elsewhere, as those cuts, callouses, and oil-stains are absolutely aviation-related.  Harrier plane captain stands by in 110º heat waiting for the pilot of "his" aircraft to run through his pre-departure checklist.

Jeff, what a great shot of the Phoenix skyline, the clouds really add to the feel of the day. We have so little weather that when we do it really stands out.

Ned, you're knocking them out of the park. I need to get down that way for some action some day.
