As I mentioned before, one of the things I love about the desert is the vastness of the sky. My mother use to say that the ceiling always seemed “high” here where the dry air can create such a crispness that you can see for miles. This is very present during our monsoon season when storms come in unleashing an amazing power. Where we live, we sometimes don’t experience the rain, but we can see them moving across other parts of the valley. The picture below was taken on one such occasion, where we watched the storms move around us. It did provide me the opportunity to sit in awe of the heavens. When I held my camera up, the words of Psalm 19 came into my head…
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Psalm 119:1 NIV
It just seemed so apropos to what I saw. The glory of God being shown through the power of His creation. It was like the hand of God just swept across the sky. I was so ever thankful to be able to witness and capture such a moment.
