This evening, following dinner, I decided to take a little sunset drive in the area near the shooting area of the Cibola National Forest. At the shooting area, there were two parties of shooters.
It was clear out and the cars on Interstate 40 had their lights on as did the Flying J Travel Center.
I stopped and took a few photos.
Here's some:

Twice a year, a view called "a must-see spectacle" occurs at Monument Valley Tribal Park.
It involves the famous East and West Mittens. I've been to Monument Valley three times, most recently last October. During each of my visits, the spectacle didn't occur.
From Wyoming Public Media:
MONUMENT VALLEY, Utah — A sunset spectacle featuring two mitten-shaped rock formations played out this week at Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation along the Arizona and Utah border.
Twice a year, in late March and mid-September, spectators, photographers and videographers get a visual treat. As the sun sinks, the West Mitten Butte's shadow crawls across the desert valley floor before climbing up the side of the East Mitten Butte.
The spectacle draws people from around the world to Monument Valley Tribal Park, which already is popular with tourists.
