The Opposite of Sunrise

Ok, Ok I know photos of  the sunrise and the sunset pale in terms of the being there experience, seeing it happen live. But it seems there is something about this desert southwest of our country that allows the photo capture of this experience with a bit more intensity then anywhere else I have been.
So, I ask your understanding of the fact that I feel a need to share another photo. This one is of yesterday's sunset, right out the door of Vilia. Yes, it was better live than this photo, but I am impressed with the pastel color impressions captured. I have about .02% of the understanding of photography that Cathy has. I just point and shoot and sometimes you get lucky. Hope you enjoy. Maybe I'll move on, maybe to photos of types of southwest asphalt, or something...
