The reflection has a double image because our windows are double paned to save cooling costs.
This photo is from two days ago, on Saturday, a day when the high temperature in Phoenix was 119 degrees (48.3 C). The sunset that evening was characteristically colorful as we often have in the desert, and we certainly welcomed the sun retiring for the day.
Our thoughts and prayers today are with the families of the 19 fire fighters who perished fighting a forest fire yesterday at Yarnell, just outside Prescott, Arizona, about an hour northwest of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. The newspaper just yesterday carried an article saying that with global warming, we have had so many forest fires in Arizona that 25% of our forests have burned just in the last 10 years.
This week we have photos of a night at the opera in Paris posted on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

This is a very clever shot!
My sister told me about the fire in Yarnell. I hadn't heard it yet. So sad.
Lovely shot but tragic news about the firemen.
Smart to get your facade from the inside looking out. The tone adds to the image.
It's so sad what is happening to our land and its people. Prescott 19 may you RIP.
sending prayers from virginia....very sad news...beautiful photo
This reflection made a beautiful picture. I especially like the double image.
We are still in shock over the loss of the entire hot shot crew. It is just devastating.
An unusual contribution for the theme day "Facade." Great idea!
Very sad to hear about the terrible tragedy of the firefighters. How will the families cope?! Unimaginable.
Top marks for an artistic take on the theme. A beautiful photograph, for sure. News of Arizona fire tragedy is top story here in the UK. Sad.
Absolutely beautiful!
I love the shot you captured. My thoughts and prayers are with all the firefighters' families and friends. I heard about it first thing when I woke up and found out some of my family's friends were some of the men who perished in the fire.
The tragedy of the fire fighters is horrible. Your image reflects how the sky and nature can be on fire.
Interesting shot. Yarnel fire is really a tragedy.
A creative and timely image.
The loss of life fighting the Prescott fire is simply horrible.
Beautiful shot. I'm still reeling at the news of the loss of so many firefighters. So sorry Arizona is taking such a terrible beating.
I like your interpretation of the theme.
