Traveling south from our successful climb of Eagle Mountain #2 (3,806'), we were witness to this unusual sunset. I pulled off Highway 127 to snap a few photos of this "cosmic vortex." The colorful tones of the rays of the sun, to the southwest, lit up these clouds, with the hole of blue sky in the lower middle. I used a polarizing filter with my 28 mm lens. Photo taken November 24, 1984, by Petesthousandpeaks.
