Houghton Rd looking west 10-30-09 by KathieI took this photo on Octobert 30 after we left Lakeside Park where we had stopped to photograph the park and the Osprey. Since traffic was thick Gus didn't want to pull over, so I took a series of pictures from the moving car. My first time ever doing this with this camera. Surprisingly they came out pretty good. I chose this one because of the many layers of colors. This is a great time of year for gorgeous sunsets here in Arizona! (click to enlarge for the very best viewing experience)

How could I resist a title like "High Speed Sunset"?
and a beautiful sunset it is! The speed didn't spoil it at all.
It came out great. That is a range of mountains in the far off distance, isn't it?
Ahhh, another beautiful AZ sunset. So glad we live where we do.
I probably take more pics from my moving truck than otherwise. And I'm the one driving too.
Your High Speed Sunset is gorgeous! I love the colors, especially the blue at the top.
WOW just look at all those colours. I also would have shot it out the window if I had too, I am glad you did.
Wow...you are right about the beautiful color layers! Beautiful!
Kathie, your Arizona sunsets are just stunning!
I too took the sunset shot in my group at high speed, sheer luck that I got it.
Blazing sunset! Great colors.
Have a great weekend!

Fantastic capture, Kathie! The colors are stunning and dramatic and breathtaking! How fortunate we are to be able to see, to enjoy and to photograph nature's magnificent displays!
Enjoy your weekend!

Stunning sunset. The colors are fantastic. Happy skywatching.
Great title, fantastic sunset, and amazing that you could get such a perfect shot from a moving vehicle!
Incredible colors! So very vibrant!
I love the layers of intense color! That is one beautiful sky!
Fabulous colorful sunset! Happy SWF! :)
A gorgeous photo of God's handiwork ~
A beautiful photo! I love the layers of color. Did you shoot this with the D80? (that's what I shoot with).
What a warm, colorful, and inviting sky. Wonderful capture from a moving car. Those shots are certainly hard to pull off. Thanks for sharing.
very nice speed sunset. i love the layers of colours.
Have a good weekend
Wow! It looks like the sky is on fire! Great capture and spectacular color! :)
You should try that with a camera more often Kathie, that's a fantastic image.
Loooove the colors...not much beats a Western sunset...
Kathie, those colors are just amazing, and I love the texture of the clouds. Beautiful photo! You asked if Ft. Campbell is close to the spot we visited in KY (Red River Gorge/Natural Bridge area). I checked Google maps, and it looks like Red River Gorge is about a 4.5-hour drive east of Ft. Campbell.
awesome shot. thanks for sharing. :)
The colors are gorgeous! I've also gotten some very good pics from a moving car. Sometimes there's no room or time to pull over.
You picked the perfect subject for a "drive by shooting" - that sky looks like it's in motion already! Gorgeous photo!
