Shot of the Day #263: Side-view Sunset 'Splosion

Shot with iphone, click to enlarge.

Driving back from a major errands day, I noticed that the sun in my side view mirror was so bright and vibrant, it almost looked like a mushroom cloud off in the horizon, the blast quickly reaching our viscinity like in T2 or WATCHMEN. Very stunning to look at (while trying to drive) but also cryptic and a little spooky. Im sure when a mushroom cloud fills anyone's eyeline, there is a moment where they go "Wow, that's really beautiful"....before their flesh is whisked off their bodies like paper, of course.
