Pure serendipity!
It had been a nice family get-together and we were driving home. It would be hard to miss this beautiful sunset, even if we were driving eastward! Then we turned north and pulled over to the side of the road to watch the sun go down in the valley below. A couple of other cars pulled over to watch the spectacle too. I LOVE living in a place where some people slow down to enjoy nature at its best,

Serendipity or not - the result was beautiful.

Yes, I love to see others who stop to appreciate nature at its best.
Lovely to see the light blazing through...
I would have pulled over too and been out there snapping away with my camera. So beautiful---mere words can't describe the vision.

I agree. Including natural phenomena in my daily life has added just so much. This certainly is a most fiery sunset.
Oh, that is gorgeous. Thanks for yanking me out of my basement office for a minute!
You stopped with your family?! How WONDERFUL! What a fabulous lesson is taking life in! I wish I lived in a place where people didn't look at me funny for actually SEEING the sky.
Super - fantastic - great.
EG: Certainly a wonderful capture. You did really well with this shot.

I thought your Sky Watch photo was amazing and then I scrolled down to see your other amazing photos. All I can say is, "WOW!"
That's absolutely beautiful. I would definitely have pulled over to see that and would have kicked myself from here to wherever if I hadn't have had my camera with me, so glad that you did have yours!
You can say it again this IS a spectacular sunset.
A beautiful view... I have to say that I rarely come across others watching the sunsets from the hills or high roads I use.. it is such a shame. Your view for Sky Watch is a beauty.

Nice framed postcard sunset.
