Skyscape: Panorama, cropped square

Even at 10mm, I had to do a pano to capture what my eye was seeing, which was the curve of the clouds in front ot me. Where panos often present a distorted view of reality, this one really captures what made me pull of the road on the way home from work to record the scene: the combination of light color and beautiful bowl shape to the clouds as the setting sun backlit them. Stitched using Photoshop CS5, cylindrical merge.
