This photo is beyond spectacular. I literally gasped when I saw it and I’m trying to figure out how to get it into my home ASAP. What a gorgeous capture – the texture and colors of the clouds alone are incredible and I so believe you were sent the sunlight. May you have nothing but bright days ahead. Thank you, as always, for sharing your world with us!
What a beautiful sunset photograph, Ellen! I never knew there was such a cool effect – it looks like we have two suns setting! The streaks of clouds and that perfect reflection on the river make this an Ellen Goodman classic! Well done!
Beautiful photo and hopefully a lucky few weeks ahead!
The hope of bright sunshine peeking through clouds. A perfect shot, with multiple aspects of inspiration, beauty and encouragement to better days ahead. Well done.
Such a beautiful and rare photo
