Sunset colors on Anna Maria Island, FL.
Anna Maria Island | Florida | Gulf of Mexico
Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback.
Sunset over Nuwara Wewa, (which literally translates to "City Reservoir") (built around 200BC) Anuradhapura in the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The Chitya (stupa/ pagoda) on the left is Ruwanveliseya and the one on the right (half restored) is Jetawanarama.
Ruwanveliseya was built by King Dutu Gamunu (161-137 BC) and was 300ft tall.
Jetawanarama was constructed by King Mahasen (276-303 CE) was about 400 ft tall. (this in fact was one of the largest Brick structures of the ancient world and was as tall as the 3rd great pyramid of Giza!!) A third Stupa (not in the picture) Abhyagiriya was constructed by King Walagamba in 103BC was over 320ft tall.
Ruwanveliseya was restored to its former glory in 1956 to celebrate the 2500th annivasary of the enlightenment of Buddha. The other 2 stupa are being restored under the UNESCO.
The ancient city of Anuradhapura is one of the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Sri Lanka.

Holland, Michigan. This is the the eastern end of Lake Macatawa. 180 degrees in the other direction from this was the rainbow that you see in the above picture.

Just the sunset over Stuttgart's city ~ not a firestorm.
