On my travels - going home a few nights ago. No place to stop, so taken from open car window. (no,I was not the driver! :) ) I know 'taken from a window' shots are discouraged but this glory was too lovely not to share, and maybe its failings will be forgiven. The beauty was so fleeting, the sky soon grey.

I won't ask if you don't tell. I really don't care if it were taken on a skateboard as long as it came out as well as this. Perfect timing for a striking image. Go girl.

I agree that this is way to beautiful to not take advantage of a perfect opportunity. Great Job!

It looks as though molten gold is pouring out from a burning sky. Wonderful shot, Lyn.

I would never have known it was taken from car window. Not that it makes a difference. This is just a great scene. Love the Walters on the horizon against that beautiful sky. Very good Lyn.

Well I'm not the one who's going to cry 'snapshot'. Nice to see something from you and I hope you're having fun with the family. Terrific shot here, no wonder you wanted to post it.

I was just reading in a photography book that I picked up that using your car as a "blind" is a good tool! So even though you wouldn't have frightened those clouds away..just think of your car as a huge tripod!!

Super shot.

Well, that ain't bad having been shot from a moving car. Must have killed you not to be able to stop. Great capture.

I agrre with Don's comment above: it doesn't care from where it is taken as long as the result is perfect as this.

How amazing! I'm always on the lookout for a good shot from the window when we're driving. Sometimes we can stop and sometimes we can't. I'm sure glad you took this one! The colors and clouds are stunning!
