I had a feeling last night’s sunset could be a good one. A beautiful wave cloud was stretching across the Front Range and it just seemed like it would happen. Indeed, it did.

As the sun went below the horizon, the cloud lit up beautifully in oranges and reds. I put my drone up for a bird’s eye view and from 400 feet above, it had an expansive view.

This shot, looking roughly straight south of me, captures the skyscrapers of downtown Denver in the distance. Center in the image, the iconic 14,115-foot-high Pikes Peak sits prominently, even from 75 miles away.
