    I love the lightening in this pic. So great!

  • Jane Best replied

    Thank you very much Geir. It was taken about 30 min before sunset but because I was surrounded by mountains, the sun disappeared behind the mountains about 10 minutes after I had taken this photo. I was mainly there to photograph the mountains but took this one as sort of an impulse/afterthought. Interestingly, it ended up being my favorite of all the ones I took that afternoon.
