A sunset too good not to share

It was hot yesterday but towards late afternoon the clouds started to form in the west. Clouds always create beautiful sunsets and I haven't posted a sunset photo for a long time. This one is such a beauty I thought it worth an airing.
I'd like to say I took it but that would be a lie. I was busy myLotting and it was left to Vince to grab his tripod and set it up on the front verandah.
Don't you just love sunsets and sunrises?

@JudyEv I would caption this one "fire in the sky."

Thanks. I have permanent permission to post whatever photos of his that I'd like to. He is very generous. I try to use my own to illustrate posts but I don't often get one that stands on alone as worthy of its own discussion - if that makes sense.

@GardenGerty Good title. If you ignore the bottom the sky looks like red-hot coals.

Wow what a magnificent shot. I love sunsets and sunrises especially when we are camping along the river somewhere.

@Happy2BeMe I think you would have plenty of opportunity for some great photos while you're camping.

@JudyEv No I don't. I don't have a really good camera but I am hoping to buy one before we start camping this year.

Beautiful.. All we have is the Cameras on our phone so not worth trying here usually. But I Love to look at Sunsets and especially when I can catch them the sunrise and newness of day.

Asking me whether I love sunsets and sunrises is an understatement. I have a passion and my folder is busting at the seams. Having said that I mostly capture the sunrise moment when it visits me in my garden.

The picture of this sunset is beautiful When I lived in the countryside long ago, I learned a few sayings about weather from an old neighbor. There are many for sunsets/sunrises. The one for your picture would be "A red sky at sunset announces wind or rain." Is it wind or rain ?

@JudyEv We don't have very many "aflame' sunsets here! You will have to share more when you or your husband get a good shot.

Sunsets are my favorite. My one and only New Year's resolution this year was to watch as many sunsets as possible. I have seen some magnificent sunsets so far this year, and I only hope they keep getting better as the year goes on!

@JudyEv You're right, Ms. Judy. Sunrise ushers us into a bright day and it brings hope.

"Red sky at night, shepherd's delight", eh? In this case, it rather looks as though it presages unsettled weather! A beautiful sky and a beautiful shot. I love the charcoal black trees against the sky! They do so much to add interest to the shot. Well done, Vince!

Sunrises and sunsets are nature's way of showing us the beauty of beginnings and endings.

That's a beauty! Someone once said about sunrises and sunsets, that God turns on and off the lights in such a beautiful way.
