Taken on South Mountain which is on the Southern end of the Salt Lake Valley floor. I was facing North West towards the Oquirrh Mountains and the Great Salt Lake. I took this shot approximately 20-30 minutes after sunset, details listed below.

Very nice! My one complaint is totally related to the challenge topic- There is nothing in the frame to give any indication that this is a wide angle shot. It needs something to give the viewer perspective.
Nice photo with beautiful colors, I just wish the horizon weren't so centered - this image would be great improved IMHO if the bottom strip of mostly-black were cropped off.
