Default Majestic Sunset

I went to the east coast in hopes of recording some of their famous fall colors but came home empty handed because i was there to soon. But then i returned home to find fall in full bloom and the winds that usually come in to rip the leaves from the trees hadn't yet made its appearance so the leaves are getting more color than usual.
Which leads me to this sunset picture showing the colors of fall in Alaska coupled with recent snow on the mountains back dropping railroad trestles and dark evening clouds all reflected in the calm waters of a glacier river. Hope you enjoy.

Wonderful capture! It really brings back the thought of fall being right around the corner. I am always impressed with your work. This is beautiful. I especially love the reflections:-)

So gorgeous! Love the snow capped mountains, the golden trees and the beautiful reflection in the water. Great photo!
