Sunset on Fire

Along with just about all of the western states.

So beautiful but so sad about all those fires! The US is really being hit at the moment with hurricanes on one side and fires on the other! Stay safe!

[FBailey]

Spectacular shot. The US has had such a cataclysmic series of disasters recently

[Suzanne]

Amazing shot. Hoping the fires are soon under control

[Maggiemae]

I wonder what that means - being western maybe not as bad as eastern - hurricane Irma - is it?

[Jane Anderson]

It must have been magic to experience!

@maggiemae Neither is particularly desirable and often they cannot be prevented. Great colouring in the sky and good timing for the reflection.

@pamknowler Thank you Pam. You're not kidding about us having a go. Seems like it all accelerated last November. Of late, we've been having heat and then rain that, though I love rain and love this, it is unusual for this time of year.

@alex_g Agreed! But we must always find that silver lining and fill the world with good juju :-) I'm glad you enjoyed the shot and I appreciate your kind words in a big way - they keep me motivated to keep that camera with me at all times! Thank you Alex.

@lisammcloskey Mother nature is amazing ~ I'm with you. We must find that silver lining and often times there's the extra or exaggerated moment of beauty! Growing up - we had a lot of smog in Los Angeles and I learned as a kid, that that smog afforded us the beautiful sunsets we often got! Thank you for your kind words Lisa.
