Photograph of the Day | Fire Sunset | 8.28.19

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well. Have you all had a good Wednesday? It's been alright here.....not too bad. Still dealing with a cough....a nuisance, but I will live. Eli seems to be mostly over his, unless he gets too rambunctious. Thought I'd share another sunset photograph. Seems like a nice way to end the evening. My time on here usually just gets started now, but I now some might get offline around this time. This sunset just happened to arrive at the time that my family were burning some leaves (I think) in the barrow pit. I know fires can be a horrible thing, but they always watched it, and didn't leave it to become uncontained. I just thought the photo had looked cool with the sky looking like it was on fire itself. Not sure what others will think about it, but that is just my take....

I hope you get over your cough. We had colds a few weeks ago. I'll try to come back on later tonight and catch your photo.

@noni1959 Thank you very much! I just thought I should explain the flames so people wouldn't be worried.

You sure caught a glorious picture of a simply gorgeous sunset. Here where I reside, it was a cloudy, thus gloomy day. No sunset at all but at least the temperature is cooler which I appreciate very much after a hot summer... I usually take Buckley's day and nighttime pill form for my cold to alleviate the symptoms and it does wonders. But a cold has to run its course... Hope you will be feeling better soon...

Thank you, this was taken years ago, but still wanted to share. Sorry it was a gloomy day there, with no sunset. That's good about the temperature cooling though. I haven't heard of that, not sure we have that brand here. Yes, that is true about a cold. Thank you though

Thank you very much! That's what I thought :) We all are doing a lot better....but still a bit of recovering to do.

Yeah, gotta be careful burning stuff. A large forest fire was started in our Judith Mountains (Montana) when someone let a domestic outdoor fire get out of control.

Yes, that is for sure...and that is a very scary thing! Sorry to hear that happened there. I think this was the last time they did that but they were always careful. I was mostly trying to capture the impressive sunset, but had got that in the shot as well.
