We had some pretty dramatic skies late in the day here in the Southwestern desert. When we think of sunsets, we always think of looking west. I found this beautiful backdrop showing the magnificence of our planet by looking east, instead of west. To see the sky I saw when I looked west toward the sunset, CLICK HERE. (There was very little manipulation done to this photo. I edited it in Picasa, chose I'm Feeling Lucky, then auto contrast, and then added about 10 percent highlights.)

This is heavenly!
Very dramatic! I saw lightning on my way home tonight. Fingers crossed for a rapid cool down!
Very beautiful shots!
Topaz Adjust is a great (and inexpensive) editing tool to use in addition to Picasa. It gives photos an extra pop. You can try it free for 30 days.
Gorgeous!
WOW ~ for some reason it made me feel like I could float right into those clouds.
Incredible pic!! Last night's storms were amazing....I hope we have more today and tomorrow!!
Breath-taking shot!!!
You're so right...we often get the best show by looking in the opposite direction than what we expect. Great catch, Kathy!
I too have noticed that looking East is at sunset will get you some great light and color.
Magnifico!
