Smoky July Sunset
I dont’ know what it is,, but I seem to have an eye for catching the sun on a rope,, or power line as this one is.,,
there was a lot of smoke in the atmosphere, giving the sun the pink tones,,,,,this is what I saw,,, no editing here,,,, and it was spectacular!!!
If this is what early man saw,,, no wonder he thought the gods were angry,, or the sky was falling….....so unnatural, but so beautiful!!!!
