Desert Snow – February 11, 2013

So the Valley of the Sun, Phoenix, Arizona rarely gets rain, let alone snow. But it does happen on occasion. This is an image I chased several years ago. I knew the mountains to the north of the valley had snow on them, but I only had a couple of hours before a meeting. I started driving north on I-17 to the Cave Creek turnoff, then went east. I was late for my meeting, and this is as close to the snow I got on this particular day. Shot on February 11, 2005. This was shot with a “borrowed” Canon Digital Rebel with a kit lens. ISO-100, F8, 1/320 sec, at 18mm.
