brilliance at sun's last light

Wow! Got home from work tonight to see this so I grabbed my camera and tripod.

I’ve never seen crepuscular rays so well defined and bright  It was truly an amazing sunset and gone nearly as quickly as it showed up.

We live just outside Portland, OR in Washington state and one of the many wonderful things about this area (aside from the great trail running, traffic free roads to cycle, and being in the gorge!) is we have a great view of Mt Hood across the Columbia River. Funny, becuase you get so used to seeing mornings like this that you can almost not even notice it day to day :)

I feel really fortunate to be able to spend some time living here and experiencing the Pacific Northwest. Really an amazing place.
