Sunset, but no sun

[Steve Foss]

Sometimes the best sunset images of the day are away from the sun. This panoramic was taken from my front yard yesterday as the sun hit the horizon. It's facing south. Note the moon in the left hand portion of the image. Posting it here doesn't really do it justice. It needs to be enlarged to at least 12x19 and printed and hung.

I like the subtle fingers and pointing at the moon.

Nice shot Steve, looks like that same moon in the post I had, which was also shot facing south. I'm with you facing away from the sun on sunset shots, some of the cloud formations like you have can be spectacular with the light shining up.

Looks like the fins on the back of a fish.

I actually was thinking it terms of the spine of a stegosaurus.

It reminds me of those bud beer commercials.

chaff, I think that makes sense. It was the time of day I was thinking about popping the top on a cold one.

Thanks for posting your photos. I hope to pop the top on a cold one for and with you in a couple of weeks at the B_Bash.
