Thanks for your comments! I took the long way home tonight and had come up nearly empty handed... Then I looked in my rear view mirror! I immediately pulled over and caught a "bird" in the sunset! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: April 1, 2005 Comments: 689

19. Cptkirk 9:59 PM GMT on March 05, 2010
Thanks... When I get home tonight, I'll post at least one landscape version. Besides the cloud's striking resemblance to a hawk in flight, it's interesting to me that the wings approximately align with the darker foreground. All in all, a rare set of coincidences!

Yes, a most unusual and splendid sunset - one of a kind really - some say we shouldn't look in the rearview mirror of life - I think sometimes it pays off big! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: August 28, 2007 Comments: 623

25. MSgeol 2:01 PM GMT on March 06, 2010
I like the portrait versions better than the landscape because of the way the wings line up with the foreground. I agree with whoever wrote it should be a poster! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: December 25, 2009 Comments: 721

About Cptkirk

My camera packing sons and I are Kansas transplants from the Rockies!(My special son Michael - handle "utjazzfan", and Shane (Mr. Lightning)- handle "idzrvit" carry our cameras everywhere we go and have been photographing the outdoors and wildlife for over 20 years. I have drawers full of photos, but have "come of age" with digital. I now shoot anything I want without fear of a wasted shot. The result is some terrific photos I may not have taken with my 35mm! Sharing our photos with our friends at "wunderground" is a real plus!
