Commentary: I spend more time birding at Boyce Thompson Arboretum than at any other spot in AZ. Each time I visit this location 60 miles from the house I enjoy the views of the landforms on the side of Picket Post Mountain south of the arboretum. I am fascinated by the human form in this image, and found this light just right to separate it from the rising cliff face behind it. Taken from the parking lot, or perhaps the picnic area.
