Why does it seem that the best sunsets are always seen in your rear view mirror? In some cases, a particularly lovely scene will go flashing by when you are on the highway with no way to stop safely. I was a passenger travelling from Quebec city on the way home in November, 2014 when I saw the setting sun casting a beautiful glow on the tops of the autumn trees in this village off to the side of the highway. My camera is usually in my lap when I travel anywhere, so I caught this with the beautiful golden light on that spire.
+Kitten KaboodleInc Thanks a lot! (not sure why I didn't get my notifications about the comments, just found them here.)
+pradeep priyantha thank you, I'm glad you like it.
I’m womanfully trying to catch up with my life and have had the post announcing this on my “desk” to remind me to do so. The shot is so lovely, so well seen. And it’s a great reminder for me to have my camera at the ready ALL the time.
I’m so glad to hear that you like it, Sandra! Thanks a lot for the comment. I haven’t been using my camera much lately though I do try to keep it with me… in case. In case of times like this!
Really good capture well done
+Ellie Kennard gorgeous
Thanks very much +Leonardo Hervacio – I took several as we passed, was happiest with this one.
Thank you very much +Heiko Mahr – sometimes the light just is special. And worth a passing shot. 🙂
Wonderful view with wonderful light +Ellie Kennard
It does not seem to have captured in passing. Beautiful photo.
+Ellie Kennard For several days we weren't able to move posts between categories in a community. These bugs just seem to pop up.
+Margaret Tompkins we had very few for Farm Friday so I had to do a hash tag search which worked, thankfully. My main post here went in with dead links except for the #, but when I edited it above it worked. So it's inconsistent.
I had noticed it on other postings but thought people had made errors in their mentions.
+Ellie Kennard Gosh Ellie, I haven't noticed that happening. I'll keep an eye out for it. There's a lot of strange bugs lately.
in'spire'ing!
+Edda Kölzer thanks very much, Edda! 😀
Thanks so much, Dylan. You are right. Let's hope photographic memory Alzheimers doesn't set in for us anytime soon. +Dylan Johnson
Thank you, +Cynthia Carden Gibson – I'm glad you like it.
Lovely Image, +Ellie Kennard
Great time to get that spectacular lighting! I guess some images will have to be only in our memories
wonderful shot, dear Ellie! 🙂 🙋 🌺 💜

+Linda Jess thanks so much! The light was so special that evening. Sometimes it is…
+Banafshe KH Yes, it was a really beautiful evening of colour and I was so glad I had my camera with me. Thank you Banafshe!
+Roar Kjær Olsen – yes, I think I do make sense of this and I understand what you are saying. It's wonderful that we all see things differently because sometimes, if the viewer is open, that different vision can be shared and give a new perspective to others. I appreciate your thought process in this. Thank you, Roar.
Many times I have asked the same question. Why is it that I sometimes see things that others do not perceive or see? As with your rearview mirror so I think we see it with the primitive part of the brain before the rational. The primitive part perceive the subject in a fraction of a second. Then two things happen, the picture goes from threatening to not threatening in the same faction, Some call it crocodile brain and defense is its nature before sending the non-threatening information to the rational part. And then, the image has become a composition.
I tend to see the sky around the tower and is therefore a tower that emerges from heaven with all its halo of reflected sunlight. Foreground dark undertone give the tower lift up into the sky, and my mind's eye tells me that this is beautiful. And it's beautiful.
Hope you make sence of this.

+andi rivarola, +In the Light, +Hans-Juergen Werner for HQSP Landscape for some reason the copy paste code doesn't seem to work with personal or page names in postings any longer?

Thanks so much, +Prue Stopford. Sometimes when you see such light and color you can only try to capture it in your memory, but it fades so quickly there. I was so glad to have my camera on my lap.
+Sunny Wu thanks very much, Sunny
So true, +Shelly Gunderson, wish it were possible all the time!
Thank you very much for the reshare, +Photo Mania Canada and +Giselle Savoie and +Mark HELM
