Springtime Highway Sunset - a photo on Flickriver

            Taken near the beginning of May this year, here you can see a beautiful and intense spring sunset taken from the foot and vehicle bridge that crosses over Deerfoot Trail, Calgary's main north / south highway, near the exit to my neighborhood.

It had been raining off and on around this time, so the skies were extra dramatic, and this was one of the coolest looking sunsets this spring!

Hope you have all had an excellent weekend so far!

I just caught up on a lot of sleep as I was quite exhausted from all my birthday celebrations on Friday and Saturday!
