Title: Sunset sky
Post by: MTGFender on July 08, 2015, 09:08:18 am

Denver is a special place in my heart. It's so close to nature. This picture was taken from the city.
Sorry for posting lots of pictures. Haven't been here for a while.

I've kind of gone off of sunsets because we see so many but the simplicity in this one is very nice.

I like simplicity nowadays.

The arching and waves of the clouds, together with the silhouette of the hills,  results in a very compelling image.

Those soft colors and the ridgeline just shout nature to me… I agree with your remark about Denver, it's a very nice city/region, really close to some breathtaking places.

Thanks very much for your kind words, my friend.
Where are you located?
Denver is a very special place. Our kids've grown up here. It's very closed to nature. Rock National Park is only 75 miles away.

I'm far away now, in Switzerland but I used to be in Boulder (about 15 years ago). RNP was a very convenient weekend escape!

Switzerland! It sounds great.
Were you here for education, U of Colorado?

Nope, in Switzerland (http://www.epfl.ch/). Initially, I wanted to be in southern California but for different reasons got back to Europe.

That cloud is beautiful. Can someone tell us more about the physics of that cloud shape? I think it might be shaped by a higher velocity current like a jetstream, but I am not so sure.

Adhika...Thanks for your kind words!
Denver is a "Mile high city". The clouds are uncommonly dramatic. This is not an artifact but a true mother nature.
