1. This is an astonishing photo, my dear George!

So simple, but elegant.

The colors work so well together. And I love the streak of iridescent orange cloud!

Thank you for sharing this beauty.

I shoot an Olympus OM-D E-M1 MARK II and used an Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm F4.0 PRO Lens for this shot. We live in central Washington State. I appreciate your interest.

I've always thought of that colour as "vermillion." Is it?

7. Thank goodness it's a sunset and not brush fires on the other side of the hill.

Been through WAY too many of those!

[George McGovern]

10. You got that right calimary!

I have seen images of brush fires. Never been close to one. Sounds like you have.
