I'm constantly amazed at the lack of respect and common sense people have. Very much a hero move to call her out on her behavior. As to your photograph it is incredibly beautiful. The lighting certainly was a gift (and not the diaper kind). Good for you Ron! I’m constantly amazed at the lack of respect and common sense people have.

Good for you. As far as this image - if I may use my street slang - that is one wicked sky!!

Thanks Joni! I agree, fires can enhance the look of a sunset, but that wasn't the case here - there was very little haze. This was just the perfect combination of great clouds, with a nice gap on the western horizon. Thanks Noella!

Do you know if it was affected by smoke from any wildfires? Here in the west, sunsets like that one are often more spectacular because of fire. We had one somewhat like it -- but a lot less spectacular -- here in Sedona last night and it was due in large part to what I believe was prescribed burn on the south side of Mingus Mountain. Way to go in your confrontation of the woman with the dirty diaper!!! Excellent time to be courageous! Wish I could speak up when I need to. I'll try to remember your good example.

Bret - good on you for picking those things up! I remember a Gary Crabbe post where he talking about the same - I couldn't help but think of that when I saw this lady. Jeff - You need to start abusing those filters! The Vegas photo was actually taken from hot air like balloon. Thanks again. Thanks a lot everyone!

I see used diapers everywhere from beaches to mall parking lots. What kind of person would do that? I guess to mothers who have several kids one more dirty diaper won't change the planet! :) This is an awesome sunset Ron, wow! You've got me inspired to actually used those graduated filters that I lug around so often and are so expensive I often leave them in their cases to protect them--how sick is that? Beautiful shot. I'd love to hear more about Palm Springs. The Joshua shot at sunset was great too and I rarely see good photos of those trees published--yours was the best I've seen in a long time. Now I have to go back and look at your "aerial" shot of the Strip and see if you've revealed where you shot it from :) jeff Good on you for saying something to her!

I'm glad you confronted the woman about the diaper, too. I've toted around several dirty diapers in the Man Van until a trash can presents itself. It's disgusting, but not as disgusting as carelessly tossing it into the landscape. Thanks for being a good citizen! Amazing sunset, Ron! I’m glad you confronted the woman about the diaper, too.

Yeah, in ever direction I could see - down towards the Salton Sea, up toward Joshua Tree, there were amazing clouds, it was such a cool sight, it is too bad you weren't out this way! Thanks MG!

I agree Jon - I prefer to shoot away from people. Last night we were going to hike up in Indian Canyon, but the Park closes at 5:00, right at sunset, so it sent us scrambling. Thanks a lot everyone!

Would I have loved to be out there with you. Late afternoon, I looked to the east, saw the beautiful clouds, and knew there would be something going on at sunset! Good on you for confronting that woman, Ron. You made a difference and got through to her! It was undoubtedly your pleasant manner :) Oh man, Ron! Would I have loved to be out there with you.
