On September 21st 2008 my husband and I watched the most stunning sunset in the crisp fall sky. These pictures were taken from our backyard.

I can tell this is going to be a good one.

Look at the middle of this picture. It almost looks like waves crashing.

The fire is starting to go out.

Oops this should have been before.

This one also. I am still learning how to do this.


http://media-files.gather.com/images/d840/d209/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

The end is near.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures. It was unbelievable in person.

Hello Carol B,

I just wanted to say I am finally going through what is now under 6,900 pieces of gather new mail that is in my inbox on here. So with that in mind I have finally come to a piece of mail that was addressed to me in regards this article submission you have created to share with the gather community. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your piece with us here at gather. :o)

And I hope you have a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)

Sunsets are awesome.
