Sky Tries to Squish the Sun

Taken a few days ago but just getting around to downloading. I like this much better on black as it brings out details in the clouds above the sun and the otherwise dark shadow of the lake. I almost didn't notice the clouds or colors there against a white background.

Are you in Michigan? I have a photo that looks very similar to this from the same day lol! It was a beautiful sunset with unusual clouds and such deep golden colors!

[Taffy]

@jackies365 Yes! We're on Beaver Island which is about 33 miles off the coast of Charlevoix. Are you in Michigan as well? It was such a strange sunset that night!

[Taffy]

@ukandie1 How are you?? I'd emailed awhile back. It's really good to 'see' you. Hoping you are well.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot

[jackie edwards]

@taffy yes I live in Michigan but my photos were taken up in Traverse City on vacation.

[Taffy]

@jackies365 No wonder it looked so familiar!
