Description

This is the twilight’s last gleaming. And all twilight’s have a last gleaming at the end of the day. Since I also made this photo on Independence Day I thought the title was appropriate. This photo was made looking south on Kimball Ave in the Albany Park area of Chicago on July 4, 2007.

Very impressive cloudscape. This image really imposes a sense of scale between the human world and the sky. The colour is great too.

Great work. I think you could the peak of the colors - I also like the street scene; folks going about their lives without even noticing the magnificent scene above them.

LOL @ Tara! I've always wondered what a "gleaming" looked like too...but considering the source of that particular phrase, I wonder about a lot of things, though I have to say that the US American National Anthem is the coolest one around...it's not bombastic at all and we don't get hit over the head with how "wonderful" our country is or how "we're the best" and all of that crap...its just a conversation between two people that basically sounds like: "Oh, hey, you're up." "Yeah. They still fightin' out there?" "Yep." "Oh, the sun's coming up." "Yep." "Is that a flag way over there?" "Yep." "It didn't get knocked down!" "Nope." "Cool!" But enough of my attempts at nationalism. This is a great shot and it's incredibly moody. I love moody shots and those clouds are amazing! That was a big storm, either coming or going, and you captured it brilliantly!
