Orange sunrays emerge from the black clouds. This is from the car like the second [2]; we passed an open field where I had the chance to snap this. I like how the beams are shining down instead of up like you see normally, and the patterns of light and dark in the clouds and between the sunshine were quite a sight.
Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart [3].

Source image [6]. Added a lot of contrast here, and brightened the sunrays quite a bit, while darkening the spaces in between, to make them more compelling. I wanted the surrounding clouds and land to be black, but I was careful not to over-expose the bright clouds, so they still have detail. This is the kind of editing I enjoy; I’m glad there were no poles and trees to remove like in Pink and Purple Sunset 3 [7]. The ones in the bottom-right get to stay because I like them and they’re small.
