Description This past weekend I got to get out of the city and out to a small town for Thanksgiving.
My friend Liz took me out about an hour before I had to come back to Montreal to show me this lookout and watch the sunset.

This is Ian. I only met Ian a few weeks ago, but from my experience he is a very great individual. We were walking back to the car during the sunset and he took the high road and I took the low road. I happened to turn my head and this is the image I saw. I told him to stand still so I could grab a few shots.
This is the result.
Thanks Ian.

Comments and criticism greatly encouraged. Thanks.

*gasp*... Is this a real sky?!
The colours are stunning...especially the contrast between blue and orange.
I love the fact that all the lines of the clouds are heading towards the man in the left of the shot. It gives the pic a great surreal aspect... making it way original from all the clouds shot I've seen. Thats just brilliant.

That is absolutely adorable capture! The colours are just unbelievably beautiful. Thanks to your friend (who fitted himself there perfectly for comparison), we can see the whole magnitude of that cloud. Truly remarkable scene and great job!
