We had perfect timing riding the Crest trail last night. We could see a storm rolling in from the south, but made it down before sunset and before the first few drops of rain started to fall. I was driving the truck back down from the shuttle start point and had to stop and take a pic... (You've gotta use your imagination because there was near-constant lightning going on on the left side of the photo...)

What a beautiful picture!!
Looks like something you would see in a National Geographic magazine.

beautiful pic

I like the way you can barely see the moon just floating in the darkness. That's a fantastic photo.

Actually that is a moon shaped defect in the image, but it is still a beautiful picture.

Yep, I'm pretty sure it's a speck of mist that got on the lens. Whoops....

Connie -

Excellent shot. May I make a suggestion??

If you, or anyone here has Photoshop, I would crop the picture at the bottom to remove everything from the pink dot you can make out in the black, down. I think it will make for a more powerful picture.

Hope that makes sense??

Really tremendous sky though - thanks for posting this!!

Wow that is an awesome shot indeed. Sort of reminds me of the type of picture you see on the front of a sci-fi book or something....

 

[skihillguy]

great pic indeed....this week has produced some incredible sunsets where i am. I was walking back along the bike trail from getting some stuff at the store and i wish i had had my camera. An incredible sunset with a beautiful oibkish orange and rows of trees along either side of the trail

Gorgeous shot!

Thanks for the new wallpaper!

Fixed the moon-shaped flaw. Very nice shot. The sunsets here in Salt Lake the last weeks have been stunning. Afternoon storm clouds combined with dust ( and who knows what else from the west desert ) blown up into the atmoshphere really accentuate the colors.

Thanks guys! Guess I could've done all that, but I think I was so psyched the colors showed up for a change, and that the 30 seconds I took to stop, roll down the window and snap a couple pics worked, I wasn't thinking of anything else...
