The last rays of the sun really painted a glorious watercolor across the sky and covered the mountains and desert below with a shroud of purple hues. Font's Point is the best overlook at the vast Anza-Borrego State Park. Getting there requires a 4-wheel drive and driving the last few miles through rock and sand.
I was playing around with this image and I really wanted bring out the starkness of the desert. The infrared filter in Nik Color Efex did the trick.
The thorny tendrils dance and reach for the skies offering red blooms to the rising sun.
