Sunrise Over the Sacramento’s
"The clouds were creeping across the desert, scattering showers in random patterns as the sun forced the curtain of dark clouds just high enough to bring a golden greeting."
This photo was taken across highway 70 from the entrance to White Sands National Monument in Otero County, New Mexico. The clouds were creeping across the desert, scattering showers in random patterns as the sun forced the curtain of dark clouds just high enough to bring a golden greeting. The vastness of the Southwest is inspiring to me.

Curator's Note:
We have been featuring photos of the Southwest taken by Marc Christensen. I think they are simply magnificent, and truly meet the criteria of "profound" photos, touching the deepest parts of us as we see, through Marc's lens and short descriptions, the awesome wonder of creation.
Marc, who has contributed many beautiful photos to Profound Living, taken around the world, has recently moved to El Paso, Texas. Now we will be able to observe the splendor of this part of our country through his eyes and lens.
Here are recent SW area photos, with narrative, from Marc
