Fire in the Sky

I went out to catch something completely different from this, but once I saw the rays of light shooting up under the dark clouds, I couldn't help but turn the camera towards the mountains.

That darker straight line is the Cherry Creek Dam and those mountains are more than 30 miles away.

Where the dam meets the water, off to the left of the image, is the Cherry Creek marina and if you zoom into the image you can see the boats floating there as they spend another night tethered to the piers.

I really wish I would have known the sunset was going to be this magnificent as I would have sought out a better view. As it was, this was a happy accident. My only wish was the dam wasn't in the image. However, the walk back to the truck plus drive time, would not have given me enough time to catch this with the rays shooting up and out like they are and that made all the difference between this sunset and hundreds of others.

An Evening at the Dog Park

I didn't bring my dSLR to the dog park and I really wish I had considering the amazing sunset I witnessed.

These were taken with my Android and edited with Snapseed.

I especially love the one with the last ray of sunshine escaping over the mountains, red against the bluish clouds behind.

Sunsetting

Here's another sunset in Colorado. Why? Because we've been having some great cloud work during the evenings and I've been wanting to get great pictures of the sunsets.

These are Android shots, edited with Snapseed.

Sunset on the Lake

Took the dSLR out to the lake today and grabbed some sunset shots. These are the Android pictures I took with my Note II and edited with Snapseed.

Hopefully sooner or later I'll get the pics off the Pentax and edit them for sharing too.
