Wow! Now that is what you call a sunset. Have you made any alterations to the photo and did you use HDR?

Thanks folks :)
This was on the PA Turnpike just outside of Norristown. Not an HDR and the post-processing is a few minor tweaks in Adobe Camera Raw, mostly to reduce posterizing and grain in the darkest sections on the image. It really was that incredible of a sunset, I barely had to touch the image at all!

What a treat! I thought you only saw sunsets like this in the Southwest! I usually don't have my camera with me when something like this turns up. Good going!

Well done, a visual reminder why it is worthwhile to lug our cameras around for that chance in a million opportunity.

Just been looking at your picture again, really cracking, could sit looking at it all day. As a matter of interest what camera and settings did you use?
