Week 33 of 52 Theme: "Landscape" Eden's Sunset

While chaperoning a group of Boy Scouts can be challenging it also has benefits such as taking you places where you can see beautiful vistas, this happens to be the sun setting behind a mountain peak in Eden Utah that we would hike up to the next day. (as pretty as it looks from here it was quite a brutal hike!) The intense color is courtesy of smoke from a wildfire that was burning about 70 miles to the southwest. So although it prevented us from stargazing over the weekend (and any chance of a great nightscape image) it made for memorable sunsets.

6 shot HDR The only way possible to get the Sun properly exposed and any detail/color in the backlit trees although I do like the silhouette shots I got and will post those soon.
