My plane landed in serious rain. The Oklahoma City forecast showed no relief until the next day, a day too late. To be honest, I never thought I’d see a sunset in Oklahoma City, but thankfully the rain clouds departed early and I had my opportunity.

With so many sunsets from Mexico, I always wanted to add one from New Mexico to the series. And who better than a native New Yorker and Sante Fe, New Mexico resident – Billie Frank.

Sunset Sunday – A Tour Bus Stop in Santiago Tuxtla, Veracruz
“Craig how much time do you need?” asked Jesus. “Two minutes, maybe three.” I responded. And even though we were late for our evening reception in Catemaco, he could make that work. At first, I hoped to capture the sunset on the lake in Catemaco, but the sun would not wait for us like the […]
