Thought I would share a sunset ;)

Took this about 7:30 pm in oklahoma city.. We had a pretty good round of Tornadic Storms coming up from the South West and this made for a wicked sunset.






Pretty Dark Clouds... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Gotta love Oklahoma Weather

Wow - ominous but gorgeous at the same time. Thanks for the photos, Jeff! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Hey thanks for looking .. I really couldn't capture the true color of it though.. That is what provoked me into taking the pics.. It was the most livid earie green I have ever seen. the sky, the ground everywhere.. It was awesome and freaky all at once..
thank ya for the comments and looking
Jeff

Very nice Jeff, thank you. It's very pretty.

I have a pic of a sunset I took somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

great pics, funny how if you didn't mention about the tornadic storms i wouldnt have guessed it, looks really peaceful.

Here it is. Showing North Philadelphia from the other side of the Delaware River. The colors in the picture don't even come close to capturing what was really there (to bad it's actually pollution..)

Just Adjusted The Color Balance for the images to show how they will actually look in reality ... Sometimes DigiCam's Mess up with the Color Balance way too much....

Jefff -

Before I read your post I was looking at the first two pics and thought "aw sn*t, that ain't good". I've never seen a photo that accurately captures the eerie green that indicates a tornado is near. I thought yours came pretty close but, as you and I know, you have to be standing there to appreciate it.

Well, normally I wouldn't try to hijack your thread, but since others are sharing, I won't feel too guilty.

Maybe not as dramatic as the tornado sunset, nor as artistic as some of the others above, but here is the first decent photo from my Utah trip in April.

I've only gotten through 20 of about 700 Utah photos so far, so I hope to eventually have some decent ones.

Sunset Arch (AKA: Sunset Natural Bridge) near the Glen Canyon Recreation Area in Southeastern Utah.




I'm still trying to figure out why they call it Sunset Arch though) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

Man those are some sweet Pictures guys.. no need to worry about jacking any of my threads I like to read & see em all ..
And ICEBREAK yeah you know it about the be there to appericate it thing.. it is the freakiest color ever and totally saturates everything in it .. even the buildings looked green.. thought for sure we were gonna get a twister but thankfully just some hail and rain here in the City .. the guys south of us had a pretty good one touch down but the storm couldn't get it's act together to really do any big time damage and produce a long term tornado.. anyway thanks you guys for sharing all the other pics and for editing the pictures with that color balance .. man the clouds are really pronounced after doing that.. gave it more of a orange look but it looks awesome.. yeah I am using one as my back ground wallpaper also..
Take Care

As seen from my former home in downtown Seattle in late-summer.

Wow, what gorgeous photos everybody! You clearly have an eye for natural beauty.

The "tornado skies" - yeah, I've seen the sky turn the strangest colors right before or after a severe storm, as if the colors were an official prologue or epilogue to the main event. It's so rare (at least here) so it's always quite stunning when it happens and it always stops me in my tracks as I watch the sky in sheer amazement.

Thanks for sharing, everybody. My favorite times of the day are sunrises and sunsets. Moon rises out over Lake Michigan are fun too, especially when using various flashlights while going through the woods on the way to the beach.

Here is one from Colorado, July 2004:

Oh geez, I don't know how I missed it. Thank you for fixing my pic ViReN /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thanks.gif
