Fire Water...
I was up on a ridge yesterday when a storm crept around to the south of me. As the storm pulled away, the remaining streamers of rain lit up for about a minute. No time for filters or grads, I took this as a 'grab shot', and am pretty happy with the effect!

Canon 20D w/Sigma 18-200
1/125 @ F11
ISO 400
Polarizer

It does look like fire! I don't recall seeing anything like this before...and the layered mountains make a very nice backdrop for it too.

Great shot, Jim. I love the light. We are certainly giving those ridges their fair share of shots lately!

Gee this one is something! If there is any photograph document a unique feature in nature - I would say that this one is the first one I'm seeing in a few years! Amazing shot, even amazing given the very little amount of time you had to nail this one.
