Description
This is a view of Phoenix as seen at night from South Mountain.
The gleeful satisfaction I felt upon completing my little photo session was quickly replaced with the ominous realization that I was stranded in the dark amongst the critters of the night; scorpions, snakes and Gila Monsters. Like a blind man with a cane, I tapped my tripod on the ground ahead of me, slowly guiding myself back up to my car, desperately hoping not to encounter any creatures that scurry and slither in the night...
Okay, I am exaggerating a little but the trek back was still more than a little disconcerting. Especially since I am not familiar with the habits of Arizona

great ambiance, colours, great picture
Shots like this are well worth some scary moments .. at least if it's not me, walking around in an unfamiliar desert :). Thanks for the story but wow on that picture!
it's almost abstract in it's differing view of desert cactus versus bright lights of the city. Excellent capture. And I am glad you made it safe and sound from the creatures of the night :)
Beautiful view of the city lights! Hope you made it back to your car without too many cuts and scratches. =) Wonderful shot =)
Beautifull urban nightscape. With a sticky cactus-touch too ! Some fear for creatures of the night ... me especially don't like the vampires!
Like two big Fingers gestulating..."Stuff You! Ya wee Bugger!" Great Shot....and You are soooooooo Brave! Congratulations at being the Photographer of the Month :]
Said the cactus to his partner: where quit high here, and I see lights all over. The other cactus reply's: dont be stupid, youre not a peyote. Lovely shot.
Thanx for sharing your scary adventure :-) Those cactus in deed looks a bit strange in there - but I like it a lot!
Oooooooooooooooooh! Your a genius Redundantly Abundant!
Nice photo like the subject.
wonderful picture. excellent presented. !!!!! :O) !!!!!!
It's beautiful.... a wonderful scenic evening shot. You used flash? I never would have guessed....seriously it's wonderful!
Captures beautifully the vast Arizona sky and landscape. Sensational work Matt! :)
fantastic view dude! worth the trekking!
WOW! bet the Pheonix tourist guides would luv this shot! glad you made it back without desert mishap , lol! terrific shot Matt! :]
My appologies for my earlier comment. I was not saying I thought it was fake. I know it's not. It's just an illusion caused by the needles, the flash on the near cactus, and my overly technical, insufficiently artistic mind. It's a great photo, really. The only reason I would agree to the idea of posting your other photo is because I love seeing your work. Oh, and next time snapping photos in the dessert after dark, carry a blacklight. Can spot scorpions easy that way. :)
The cactus give a great perspective on the city below!! Fantastic work, Matt!!
Are they looking at the city? Love the sea of lights...
fantastic as a postcard
