Default The Sun's Last Hurrah
A minute before I took this photo, the rays were much more pronounced .. I was so in awed - I just stood there staring -

Sunset - Rays of Hope

Hayward, that image is gorgeous. I love the sky. Looks like flames coming down from the ground. I like the silhouette too. You can still see some details and its not too dark. Very well done!

It is really a great shot. What wonderful color and composition. I really like the way the silouette borders the sky.
