Location: Scottsdale, Arizona

I took this photo at 4:40 am last Monday morning; by 5:00 am, there was enough sunlight bouncing around the sky that the scene could no longer pass as being nighttime and the mood that I (like to believe I successfully) captured in this photo had long since disappeared. Again, there is some blotchiness in the very deepest shadow areas, but fortunately, it is not fully visible at this size; printed large, though, it definitely can be seen, which is problematic for me.
