Description Full title: The Heavens Declare the Glory of God.

This sunset was THE most spectacular one I have seen in years. The sky was fiery red over much of its extent, front and back. I actually took a number of different angles, and I may make a panorama of it sometime. But I just dropped in to share this with you. Thank you, God! You blessed my eyes this day.

Taken with a hp photosmart 320, in other words a little el cheapo wide angle point and shoot digital camera. It's what I had with me.

Comments in other languages welcome.

Thank you!

Thank you for the fav and the fine comment. That puts it in context. We can't fav the sunset itself, but we can talk about why we find it beautiful.

Hey, that's cool! I don't use the forums or the chat, however. Maybe it was my thumbnail in Thumbshare.

Oh yes they most certainly do! Gorgeous shot of a gorgeous sky. How could anyone stand under an canvas as glorious as that and deny the brushstrokes were done by a sovereign Hand.

Thanks for the very kind words. I think it takes a lot more faith to believe God DOESN'T exist. And they talk about how stupid faith is! I think they have a serious problem.

while i still hold true to my belief that sunsets are very overdone on here, i must admit that the colors here are very vivid and beautiful, i love those oranges and pinks, and though overdone you just really can't get enough of them

lovely capture.

I agree. Sunsets are overdone, and you can't really get enough of them. Thanks for your comment!

Ah man, now if somebody would have told me that before I wore out my first pair of shoes there then I'd have moved away. fortunately i get to spend a week in the mojave at the end of the month!!!!!!!!! YAY!

Did you get back from your trip to the Mojave yet? How did it go?

altjeringa In reply to PatGoltz [2004-12-08 02:52:31 +0000 UTC]

the trip was wonderful... thank you for asking. everytime i go i come back a little lighter in the soul and a little heavier on the scale. i can't say what was the best part of the trip it. i visited some new places, Bodie ( not techincally in the mojave ) Paniment Springs, and re-aquanted myself with some old freinds such as Kelso Dunes and Rainbow Basin. honestly i still haven't sorted it all out yet. all i know is that i will go back again and again and again. someday i will make a life there and hopefully wear out many more pairs of shoes.

You're welcome. Did you bring back some pictures? (hope, hope, hope)

If you do all the hiking you're supposed to do, no reason why you should come back heavier on the scale.

altjeringa In reply to PatGoltz [2004-12-09 02:53:54 +0000 UTC]

Ya a brought back pictures... slowly working my way through them so i don't flood the poor folk on that are kind enough to watch me. I've posted some over the last week or so... and will continue as time permits. Thank you so much for your interest. How have things been going down in your neck of the woods? No more flooded out roads I hope!

Oh I came back pretty much the same, albeit not as much as I'd have liked I had a pretty full schedule.

PatGoltz In reply to altjeringa [2004-12-10 05:36:38 +0000 UTC]

I appreciate your work, and I do agree one should not flood the folks with too many at once. (I am not good about keeping that rule). You're welcome. No more flooded roads. But more rain, unseasonably. I hear there is an El NiΓ±o this year. That will probably mean abundant wildflowers, so I'll be out taking pictures a lot.

I am very much looking forward to a mega-bloom. You can bet I will take full advantage of it. This will be the first since I got my wide angle lens, and I will be using it.
