Recession of Light
Sunset light filtering through clouds just adds to the dramatic effect.
sunbathing
The most photographed sky in the world strikes again, with a sunset over the rockies.
frosted
Snow showers break apart and show the sunset. It is about to get much colder.
Sundown
The oranges and golds of this sunset over Bullfrog Bay reflect the color of the desert. The clouds are also dry as the ground below.
Golden Fields
This view of the sun setting over a grain field was spectacular, providing wonderful foliage to catch the backlighting.
Golden Glow
This spectacular sunset caught my eye not only for the beautiful clouds, but the almost exclusively golden light.
head in the clouds
Center of frame is the bottom half of Pikes Peak. The size of this mountain only becomes obvious when you’re a long way off; this shot is from 40 miles to the north and it’s still the largest feature of the landscape.
Just Peachy
Clear sky sunsets are usually not very colorful, but this was a brilliant exception. The rolling hills and sparse trees added to the view.
Missouri Crossing
Humidity and smoke filtered most of the shorter wavelengths of light out of this sunset. This resulted in a dramatic red sun leaving its trail across the waters of the Missouri River.
Color Waves
Sunsets are almost always beautiful, but they are occasionally something really unusual. This view from Port Wing marina had wonderful high altitude clouds that stayed lit well after the sun was below the horizon.
