I had to run to drop an important birthday card in the mail last week and just by chance took my camera with me. On the way home I caught this sunset. Getting to a high enough point was a challenge unto itself. I almost lost the entire sunset getting to this spot. After you take your eyes from the clouds and the reflection of the sun, note the traffic lights and cars in the lower area. Normally I would crop that out, but since the challenge was capturing those things - here they are.

I think the traffic actually adds an interesting element. Beautiful shot.

Amazing tone. The way the cars and lights are barely there is great.

Lovely Sunset! I like the way you added that road to the frame with all that traffic.
Good one!
p.s. Thanks for your comments!I use Adobe Photoshop CS2 for editing!

Very nice Sunset, I like to keep some cars in the foreground, it gives a bit of scale..:-)

you do have to try and take your eyes away from the beautiful sunset. Cars worked well!

I llike the cars' sparkling lights at the bottom of the photo. It accentuates the sunset in a unique way. Powerlines or billboards would have marred the view terribly, though. Nice shot.
