a Happy Meal Sunset
Posted By: Bob Harris, 12-17-2012, 10:01 PM

Coming home from the store the other night, I pulled the Jeep over to the side of the road to take a sunset shot and noticed the McDonald's sign and sunset colors blended well. Thank you for viewing, now lets go get something to eat.

Bet you could sell that to the company. At the very least they may give you a coupon for a free Big Mac. That;s really a great shot

Looks like an entire mountain taken over by McD's. Fantastic colors in the sunset, more than hold their own against the similarly-colored sign.

Jeff, I took the shot from a higher vantage point and wanted to get more of the mountains in, but this is the best I could get which i am happy with the results. We have such awesome sunsets out in the deserts, not sure what the sunrises look like though

Wow, Sell it to McDiggs! What a wonderful sunset and terrific image. The juxtaposition is ironic and unique.

We had another beautiful desert sunset and like you said the vantage point made the shot. Thanks for looking, always appreciated.

I think what he means Bob is that now FaceBook owns Instagram they have just updated the ToS which would allow them to use any photos uploaded in any advertising and sell any of your pictures without any compensation to the copy right holder. And without any permission. In other words its FaceBook, stay away.
