At the last minute

I thought I had a couple of possible shots for my PAD but as I was taking the clothes
in from the line, I noticed the sun slipping down in the sky. I just had time to
run inside, get the camera, and catch this shot before it disappeared below the
horizon.
The lights are those from Dundalk Racecourse which is a couple of miles from our home.
It's the only all weather horse racing track in Ireland.

Nikon D90
1/640s f/7.1 at 300.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Thats a flashy sky.

The clouds make for a good effect; almost like a watercolour wash, only more vibrant.
