In West Texas, we get several nice (visually explosive) sunsets a year. We have A LOT of flat land and plenty of sky to put in a frame. I cut my serious photographic teeth chasing down evening storms and morning clouds in West Texas, and I’ve heard many photographers speak of how this part of the country offers some of the best light and atmospheric color in the world. I’ll have to agree…

I get equally excited to see such prominence in the sky elsewhere, such as this shot from Rocky Mountain National Park. It was actually my first visit to the park, and while the weather was quite inclement for a lot of early evening shooting, when that sun got below the clouds on the horizon, the sky lit up! This nice shower turned into a behemoth of structure above the peaks!
