The Atomic Explosion and Mushroom Fallout at Sunset

I think about all the sunsets I miss. I always seem to be out and about somewhere, noticing a great sunset and noticing that I am not even close to my camera and tripod. It’s just unacceptable!

This day and evening I was in Yellowstone alone. I had just seen a grizzly bear and a black bear about 30 minutes before this shot, crossing the road in front of me. They went on their way and I was left in the middle of this area with just a few elk meandering a few hundred feet from me.

    Thanks!

    No I did not add any sunstreaks in here… in the real photo! You can kinda tell because of the strange atmospheric cloud shadows to the left.

    lovely. i need to run to the thesaurus for superlatives to praise your work. however, i don’t think you’d find that all that helpful. still, you have yet one more fan out here in cyberspace.
