As Our December Sun Is Setting

After grabbing a quick bite to eat (in my case, a fantastic walnut chicken salad sandwich from Paradise Bakery*), I requested that my dad drive us to Lookout Mountain, yet another section of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve.
There, we watched the sun set over Phoenix and Scottsdale, while a full (and new) moon rose on the other side of the peak.




I love how the moon looks in this picture.

I've witnessed some fantastic sunsets (at Rick's Cafe in Jamaica, for one), so this was by no means the best ever. Still, I'm a sucker for any kind of sunrise/sunset/moon rising, and if my camera's on hand, I tend to get a little photo-happy over the occasion. Some things never get old.

* Paradise Bakery is primarily a West Coast chain, but if you ever visit one, please try one of their cookies. I dislike dessert/sweet baked goods, but had one of their chocolate chip cookies (my only dessert weakness besides funfetti cake), and it was a truly fantastic experience.
