Thanks again, man. Did you get that scorchin sunset up by you last night? WOAH! If you didnt, well, that sucks then!

I had to head out into the country last night, so I grabbed my camera before I left and boy am I glad I did! Not only did I pass a sweet Lamborghini on the ride out (in which the pic didnt come out ), but I drove head first into this gorgeous sunset. Check out this beauty from last night...

The cool cloud formations around 6:45 pm. Nothing specatular yet...

Out in the countryside the colors started to pick up real fast:


The colors were changing by the minute. This was taken about a minute after the last shot:


The camera doesnt do the colors/intensity any justice. It was bright and brilliant as they come, with every imagineable shade under the sun (no pun intended). Hot pinks, neon oranges, deep reds, dark and light purples, blues, canary yellows, etc, etc. Too bad I dont have a panorama option on my camera, otherwise I could have gotten the whole spectrum in one shot. Instead I just focused on the most intense part of the sunset.

Very nice Steve. About the only thing nicer than a sunset is a sunrise, but I suppose that depends where you are...Here they are different.
