Not a Sunset, 7/17/12
Posted on July 17, 2012 Posted by John Scalzi 11 Comments
A few hours from sunset, with the sun burning through — barely — some pretty ominous clouds. We could use the rain, man.
Whatever
FURIOUSLY REASONABLE

Did you adjust the color balance, or is it really that color?
That color looks like the golden glow you get around tornado-producing thunderstorms…
That looks like a Chris Foss background. All you need is some exploding spaceships…
I scrolled down expecting to see a book title and a spaceship (exploding or standing on its tail fins), or at least something large, land-based, and tentacled.
Gorgeous picture.
That is an outstanding photo. Thanks for sharing.
Really interesting picture. You catch some good ones.
Please…. take some of our rain. We have plenty. We’ll take some of that sunshine you’ve been having if you don’t have a use for it.
Awesome photo. I can’t recall ever seeing anything remotely like it.
And I used to work in a one hour photo lab and have seen literally millions of photos.
Lovely shot – funny how Earth can seem like an alien planet sometimes.
Scalzi, what do you use to take these sunset pictures?
I wonder if that’s the same cloud that was at my house earlier. Beautiful shot.
