Thank you dear friend! Sometimes I find the best stuff when I'm not looking for it! :))

Sunsets have always amazed me, especially the brilliant orange I so love in this one, and with the hint of contrasting lavender, it creates a dramatic show!! Great capture. The railroad tracks seem to be saying.....we're going with you.
Mick Anderson replied:
Vicki, I very much appreciate your visit and comment!! When I saw the reflection of the sky's color on the steel of the rails, I knew I had to capture the scene! I appreciate your warm words and comment :))

Holy crow, Mick!!!!! This is stunning! Rails of light fading into black, the sky above on fire!!!! What a good eye you have! Love the perspective! :) V/F
Mick Anderson replied:
Thank you Sandi!! I just stopped by the side of the road and studied my surroundings... and found the sky's reflection in the tracks. This is a hand-held shot -- luckily my Sony has built-in image stabilization!! :)
