Now that's a beautiful sight. Thunderstorms were few and far between last night but you caught a beauty here and you even captured the lightning. Congratulations on your Approver's Choice selection.

I am quite sure that even Maxfield Parrish would have done a happy dance if he'd seen that awe inspiring vista last night. ;-D

This is one of the most magnificent pictures I have seen of a sky's colors. Yet it ranks 2nd best in my book, because I have seem even more spectactular sunsets on the west coast of Florida. I have lived in many places, but the Florida sunsets have taken the cake, and there has been no competition. Like it!
