[SkyWatch] Sun Setting on Industry

On our drive south along the Pearl River Delta recently, I rolled down my window to snap these shots of the  setting sun as we were zooming past a heavy industry portion of the province.




Guangdong, 2011

    Love that first one in particular with the smoke and the lava like clouds.

    I agree, I like the first photo. You are a super photographer even when zooming past, Francisca.

    Wonderful skywatch series! The third is my favorite, there are some pretty rainbow colors in the clouds around the sun.

    The chimney in photo 2 has gone smokeless. Are the two in your set the same chimney ?

    Someone needs to start a meme of photos taken from one's car. Most interesting. Almost makes the factory smoke seem pretty.

    An awesome series of the setting sun by you “on the go!” The second one is my favorite with is faded quality and that huge smokestack in the foreground.
