Beautiful shot! The way it's lit up against the dark sky - awesome!

Hi McCloud, thanks for the comment. I normally I try to be out flying just before sundown due to the warm lighting and long shadows that help bring out the relief in terrain as well as the warm colors. This particular day initially didn't seem to be very good because of the cloud filled sky but luckily the sun hit some clear sky at the western horizon as it was setting providing a few minutes of pretty awesome conditions.

Thanks again...Have a great weekend!
