Yesterdays Sunset

[JimFox]

I was heading down the I-15 south from Salt Lake City. I had dropped off my Nikon Z6 II at Spencer's Camera to get it Astro modified.

I was enjoying the snow covered mountains to the East as I was driving south, but lamenting the fact that in that Salt Lake City area it feels like they have built on every square foot of ground between the I-15 and the mountains. But further south, the mountains get a bit sparser, but civilization gets sparser too.

Watching the clouds overhead that are starting to fade a bit I was hoping they would hang in there until sunset. So as I saw the sun getting pretty low to the West, I took the next exit from the freeway, and found a dirt road that angled to the SW nicely. As the clouds started to turn color I found some nice ranching remnants and a few lesser used roads I could use in the ground layer. This is one of the roads.

SLC was pretty much built out between the foothills and the freeway when I lived there and hasn't slowed down in the almost 30 years since I left. You can likely bet on the notion that some developer has already eyeballed where you shot this from

Great colors in the clouds. I used to see some spectacular sunsets from up near the University Med Canter when I worked up there.

Gorgeous image Jim, great iPhone capture.

The cloud is the main show and the ground provides a nice anchor for this scene.
