We have a lot of great sunsets here, but the one Tuesday night was off the charts. It started with some unusual shadow play in the eastern sky, but after photographing that I turned around to discover the drama in the west -- including the river-horses of Rivendell, galloping at Arwen's call to save the hobbits after the flight to the ford.
Clouds with sunset colors, subtle salmon-pink and orange mixed with grey, that are uncannily shaped like the water-horses in the river from Fellowship of the Rings when Arwen calls the river to sweep away the black riders.
A dramatic sunset. A layer of fluffy clouds is colored intensely salmon-pink, with clouds on the periphery a lighter yellow, then shading to pale pink, then to grey. In the distance are the silhouettes of a mountain range. At the far left are rain clouds and you can see it's raining over there. The foreground is dark, though you can see there are some scattered houses and lots of trees.
Clouds at sunset over a mountain range. There are long shadows coming in from the upper right and lancing down toward the mountains. Some parts of the clouds are grey while other parts are salmon-red.
