I'm jealous of this one, too.

The sky is on fire! This is one of the best sunset shot I have ever seen, so beautiful, so huge and so lonely. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, sorry for the slow reply. I finally remembered that there were a couple of other photographers out there and they probably accidentally lined themselves up for my shot. Either that, or they were two random people overcome by my awesome telepathic powers...

Glad you liked the photo!

Gorgeous

Whoa! that is spectacular, very well taken. It's the sort of keeper we all dream of. Thank you for sharing that one.

Is it taken at 24mm?, do I need to buy that lens now as well?

Kevin, I shot this with my K1 and Pentax 24-70 f2.8 lens. So glad that you like the shot - Thanks for your kind comment.

Probably better looking than today's Winter Solstice! What a perfect photo!

This reminds me of The Mittens at Monument Valley, but wetter...
