Rained most of yesterday but cleared by evening, so I hiked to the ridge behind my quarters and watched the sun go down. As it got dark, to the east, a major thunder-boomer began building so, having already paid admission, I watched that show for a while, too.

Breathtaking! Suspense builds as the story unfolds. And since you were able to post the shots, you survived 
I had never given much thought to Guantanamo's climate, but how interesting to know it's desert.

The color was awesome, Donna, more of a midnight blue and, believe it or not, a lighter tint of midnight. Not really like the lighter, cerulean like blue that was recorded and I couldn't duplicate. But, it was a very nice evening... but mosquitos, gnats and maybe vultures were eating me alive! Thank you Donna!

Yup, survived just fine Linda; I was sitting next to my lucky antenna! The storm was rapidly expanding - and moved out of my unobstructed angle of view- that's when I headed for the house. Trouble is, lightning ruins your night vision so coming down the trail in the dark wasn't much fun... and picked up a few cactus needles.
Guantanamo is like much of Mexico- ancient sea bed; lots of sand, small rocks and lots and lots of coral and doesn't hold water very well. In fact, despite Guantanamo's excellent bay, there was never much of a settlement here. There's one well, "Cuzco Well" and it's not particularly productive. Castro cut off the water and electricity supply to the Naval base back in 1964 so, we've a big desalinization plant instead. The climate is hot but, drier than New Orleans and doesn't rain much. Thanks Linda for looking in!
