Fire in the sky on Rob Roy Reservoir

This sunset on Rob Roy Reservoir in Medicine Bow National Park, Albany County, Wyoming, was taken while fishing for rainbow trout. It was fire in the sky. We where enjoy the evening fishing and watching the wildlife from the middle of the lake. The wind had died down and the crisp clean air and smell of pine penatrated the senses. We watched a bald eagle soaring, a doe and fawn come to the edge of the water to drink, before gracefully wandering back into the forest. We watched a duck drive for it's dinner and the fish break the glass top of the water to obtain theirs. This sunst at end of the day was as vibrant and full of life as the wildlife not seen in it. The colors, swirls in the clowds, and reflection in the water signify the movement, grace and beauty of this glorious world.
