Right place, right time in Death Valley

Sunday night's sunset was crazy. I thought it might be a good one and scouted out locations with water to shoot. I ended up chasing this band of clouds as they slowly drifted south before stopping at these brine pools and watching the entire show from there. Wow I was not disappointed. The whole world lit up with red and orange.

You weren't kidding about the right time and place - and you nailed it. Stunning color show.

You worked it out to your advantage and finished with a stunning image Kurt. Nice one.

I have been to Death Valley when this has happened and this is not easy to do. Great job of capturing this. Kurt. This is one you that you will be proud of for a lifetime.

That's an intense sunset and deep rich colors all around. Great timing for sure.

This puts a whole new definition to the word Epic!

Totally awesome! And great job scouting and chasing and hoping for that sunset! Luck comes to the prepared, and you were prepared. I am glad this turned out so well Kurt!

Nicely done Kurt! The brine pool seems the best option for a sky like that.
