The sun sets over the mountains

The sun sets over the mountains by Stuck in Customs.
I checked the sweet internet earlier in the day to see exactly what time sunset was in Yellowstone. I have the sunrise/sunset website bookmarked, which is kinda strange, maybe... Anyway, It said 7:03 or something like that. I knew full well that it means the exact moment when the sun dips below the horizon, so the sun really "sets" about 30 minutes before that... but that didn't help me get into the right position to see the sun right before it dipped below the mountains.

Luckily, there was a fine band of yellow sky lit up above the mountains, reflecting across the Madison River.

No, it's not. Do you have the foliage report bookmarked?

Magic image - has a surreal texture to it.
Do you have an iPhone? If so, I can really recommend the app PhotoCalc - is great for showing twilight and sunset times so you can get the full effect. I used it the first time this weekend and went straight to the front page of Explore (one of a first for me).

your yellowstone/montana photos are very enjoyable. i grew up in montana and miss "Big Sky" country during the summer and fall.

Galen Rowell once wrote that mountain sunsets were the best 30-40 minutes after the sun went down, which gave the best alpenglow.

Excellent image as usual. You may want to consider purchasing a GPS to tell you live sunrise/sunset times anywhere in the world. I recommend the Garmin Colorado or Oregon 400t!

Very nice. What you say about sunset is all too true. Over here, it's the forecast time, minus ~15 minutes to account for the mountains on the horizon.

I find the bookmark not at all strange. I have one of those, + one for moon phases + one for tides. And one for doppler radar and also several live web cams ;-)

Having the sunset-sunrise settings bookmarked is not strange at all. My friend who does photography as a living does it as well:) Love this shot - that little band of yellow - delightful
