Been wanting to take this photo awhile after my wife came up with the idea. Saw a good sunset happening this day and shot the picture across the interstate from the oil rig.

Love the natural gradient stripes of the sunset. This has great contre jour. The stark silhouette of the bush and lines of the structure show up nicely against the sky. I like the flare created by the lights. Bumping up.
