I love this shot! Reminds me of the flag that flew above the hq when I was in Saudi Arabia

Cheers!

Just curious, did you see this naturally of set the stage? Attempting to go beyond just what I see to what I wish to see.

NAturally. Nothing changed or altered. I came across this on a drive to take my dog on a hike with the setting sun.

This is an awesome shot =) love it!

Thanks!
