Painted is the Occident

by morpheus71

“The gloaming comes, the day is spent,
The sun goes out of sight,
And painted is the occident
With purple sanguine bright.”

What a great shot! Even though there's been some post-trickery, the equipment used was the entry-level camera with the cheapest kit lens. Just shows how good the gear is. Well done. Regards.
