cloud shadow sunset

[vash (Ashley)]

HEY all

been a very long time since I've posted anything, been cloudy and the fishing has been good so I've spent my spare time doing that instead of getting mad at the sky.

Finally getting some clearer skies here, this is a photo taken from the first clear night since I can remember.
This is something I have never seen before and I believe it is a cloud's shadow from below the horizon giving a nice dark line through the colours of the sunset.
I took about 7 shots free hand and stitched them in photoshop to give a nice panorama.

Nice Ash,
We had exactly the same effect here a few days ago with beautiful pink strips across the whole sky just after sunset. I have seen it before but never from horizon to horizon. Did take one shot or two but by the time I got the camera out it had faded alot.
cheers
