These sunsets were taken at the end of my second day in the Joshua Tree NP. Choosing a low angle was important to keep the full trees silhouetted against the sky instead of losing some of their detail by putting them against the dark part of the landscape.  Taken with the Nikon D800 and 70-200mm zoom lens at a 135mm focal length.

This shows the same scene but here a wide angle was used to incorporate the colorful shape of the evening clouds.
