Another Sunset -- So What?

[RSL]

Unlike the beautiful post-processing sunsets Slobodan posted in The Coffee Corner, this one is right out of the camera (with a bit of sharpening). It's from last year during the Waldo Canyon fire. We had evacuated our house in Manitou Springs, and I made this shot from a balcony at my third son's house on the east side of Colorado springs.

I like it, though it's disturbing.  Looks like the beginning of the apocalypse.

Addendum: I tried clarity and highlights bring out the godrays a little.  Some difference, but not a lot.

Nice one, Russ.

(But the only evidence I see of the "Hand of Man" is your copyright in the lower right corner.    )

It's the smoke of man.

Good point, Bruce. Turns out it was started by the hand of man.

It's amazing you had the presence of mind to take the picture in the first place. Me - I'd be looking for the nearest exit.

I sit corrected.
It's still a nice sunset, but the price was certainly a bit excessive.
