Photo Friday challenge for September 16, 2005 is Divine. That was really funny... We were adding back east to
Calgary from our day trip to Banff and the Minnewanka loop, so the sunset was behind us. All of a sudden we saw a
woman parking on the side of the highway, taking photos towards the west. I turned back to see what she was
taking photos of, saw the above sight through the back window of the van and asked Joe to stop as soon as he
could...

Amazing... It was simply and utterly amazing!!! For someone who is not a believer, to have a sensation of revelation
while facing such staggering sunset - this is truly one of a kind experience. We've never seen sunset like this. The
sun rays came so intensely through the dark clouds, tearing them apart and flooding the earth below. The clouds
were colored with unbelievable shades of blue, gray and yellow...

A great sunset shot, I can feel the sense of divine atmosphere. I started to take sunset pictures since this spring in
Ottawa, and got two similar ones - strong intensive sun rays through cloud.
