SkyWatch Friday: Mount Nebo Sunset

The setting sun from Sunset Point, Mount Nebo, Arkansas. March 28, 2011

This is my post for Skywatch Friday, a meme for sharing views of the sky from all over the world.  To see more, or to join and share your own photos of the sky, click HERE.

I’ve mentioned before that the weather wasn’t exactly cooperative during our trip to Mount Nebo in Arkansas.  The day we drove there was partly cloudy, but when we went to Sunset Point we found that the sun was setting behind a thick bank of clouds.  But those same clouds gave us the beautiful sight in the picture above.

Later the clouds parted enough to allow us to see this golden glow from our cabin.  Sunsets from Mount Nebo are always special.

    What wonderful pictures, George!! It is so hard to catch sun rays like that. They tend to wash out in my lens! Thinking of you today.
