    Glassford Hill in Prescott Valley was one of the scenic areas. As little as 10 years ago I could sit at the flea market and count as many as 50 pronghorn antelope grazing on the hillside. Today, you don't see any. They were not killed off by hunters. They were moved out by developers. Houses are encroaching on the foot of the hill, and starting to move up the sides. Million dollar homes are worth more than a few antelope. Truly the sunset.

    That day they were doing controlled burns in some of the higher elevations around Prescott. That always makes for colorful sunsets, This time I happened to have the camera along.

    DR that is beautiful. I love to see a really beautiful sunset. It is so sad about the antelope. It's happening to all of the animals and soon they will have know where to escape into. Poor things.
