If you didn’t get to see the sunset tonight, you missed an absolute treat. Fortunately I captured a panorama of it…click the photo above to check it out.
To set the stage, after a horrid early evening weather-wise, storm clouds and severe weather gave way to the sun’s grand exit in the 8-o’clock hour. I was returning home from church and saw a faint glimmer of a vibrant sunset to the west as I was driving home on Sunshine Street.
I had chased this sunset from Rutledge-Wilson Farm Park, where I first spotted it. After not knowing where I was going, I found myself eventually where Route MM meets I-44 north of Republic — so I headed north of the freeway, past the stockyards on the outer road and continued on FR 140 westbound until I hit another Farm Road that took me north. I was very blessed to have found this clearing to shoot this photo on a road called Sunset Road, no less.
Here’s the location of where I captured the incredible imagery:
Now please know that there were NO IMAGE ENHANCEMENTS WHATSOEVER made to the photo. I simply shot four photos side by side, handheld, dropped them into Adobe Photoshop, did a cylindrical photomerge and that’s the result. What you’re seeing in the photo is exactly what the sky looked like.
Tonight’s sunset was an awesome display of the power of nature and the One who created it all. Once again, here’s a link to the panorama — please don’t steal my work.
Nice!
thumbs up!
Beautiful!
