First rays of light

On 04/20/2026 04:53 am by Eliot Herman | Website | Tucson AZ

I have been looking during predawn to try to capture the light streaming above the hidden horizon behind the mountain, this morning I could see it well, because of the dust, and captured it. The eye has much more dynamic range- so translating view to camera has challenges. It is the Agave's moment, these plants grow for a decade or more, then put up a 12-15 foot stalk in a few weeks that drains all the resources from the plant, the plant flowers, sets seed and dies.
