Such a brilliant shot. The colors are perfect and you caught the sun at the best moment!

I love it!

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!

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

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 . . .

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.

I just looked at and read and laughed out loud at your Signature line. Perfect! Sad, but true.
