About this postcard

Tall palm trees stand in the foreground of a green field with a low white building, while the Santa Catalina Mountains glow red and purple behind them under a blue, cloud-streaked sky. The card names the scene as the sunset glow on the Catalinas north of Tucson, Arizona. The Santa Catalina range rises north of Tucson in the Coronado National Forest and is a defining landmark of the city's skyline, noted for the pink and crimson light it takes on at sunset.
