Description
Sunsets on the west coast of Washington State have become almost routine, but this one stands out for me. Storm systems are the norm for this part of North America, but every now and then there's a clearing. If that happens to be near sunset, the scene can be truly stunning.
This was one of those moments. I didn't have time to set up the tripod, so this was a hand-held shot with the camera set on automatic. I just pushed the shutter button and the result was an image that seems to show a part of the clouds being set on fire by a bolt from the sun. I like to think that's actually what happened!
