(28,476 posts)Am I seeing a halo around the top of the pole? 😇 Now you have angels working with you! 😉😁 And a UFO behind the pole? Hehe.😉 Refraction is nice.
That sky is such a beautiful color gradient!

(12,917 posts)Best thing about the sky's colors was that they were natural. There was no wildfire smoke mixed in.
Plus the picture was a good test of my new telephoto zoom.
Thanks again,
George

(12,917 posts)Where I grew up in Connecticut the only views of the sky were straight up, between the trees.
Could you maybe walk or drive to an open spot for a sunset shot? Then again you've probably thought of that . . .

(61,203 posts)It just by the time you realize it's going to be a great sunset, driving to those spots is too late. We still catch some incredible sunsets when we can get out to the Island. (Hilton Head).
Get some great sunrises as well.
