Beauty on the morning commute

It has been quite some time since I submitted a play_raw:
So, I was stuck in traffic some 3 weeks ago on my morning commute - a low sun and interesting clouds - and grabbed my pocketable camera link which I keep in the lift-up centre console between the front seats. Trying to match the original mood I came up with the image below. Have at it, if you wish.

Taking into consideration the time of day and the position of the sun, I balanced it toward the shadows, somewhat.

I created a sunset that probably didn’t quite exist.
Thanks for sharing!

Well, it was a sunrise - but the colours are pretty! Thanks!

Are you sure it’s a sunset? It looks somehow like the apocalypse. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

My not really spectacular version:

Sunrise in the southern hemisphere = sunset in the northern hemisphere. My logic is bulletproof :smiley:

We get very spectacular sunsets where I live, especially when we get devastating and apocalyptic wildfires. I’m so used to it that if the apocalypse were to happen, I’d probably just think it’s a nice sunset and enjoy it :smiley:

If it is like that, my edits must have been horribly boring to you. I’m sorry for that. This should help hopefully… :rofl:

Your edits are never boring @Popanz. True to your name, you always bring the “pop” :slight_smile:
