Sunset at the Valley of Fire State Park (at the Fire Wave parking lot, actually)Related content

For sure reminds me of fire because of all the warm colours and the strange ways the rocks are forming, like stiff flames blazing up the sky with rays of orange and yellow and pink. This is such a stunning shot, the clouds are even gorgeous to catch the sunlight. There isn't anything I would really change about it. The ray of colours is fantastic and inviting.
The title is also very suiting. There's fire in the clouds and fire on the ground ahah
This looks almost HDR ? It's very vibrant and bold and sharp. I could sit in the photograph forever starring at this view. This could so be on a travel website and make me want to go there, which I might one day. The sunset is always gorgeous...

Thanks for your kind words !
Yes, this is an HDR shot, assembled in Photomatix Pro. Normally I use PhotoAcute (which does super-resolution in addition to HDR), but PhotoAcute has a lot of trouble with low-light shots, for some reason, so I used Photomatix (it also tends to generate more pleasing images).
As for travel, if you live anwhere near Nevada, you could go there right now ! This was shot at Parking Lot 3 in the Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, about an hour away from Las Vegas.

Oh, awesome !
No, I'm actually living in Texas. It for sure is on my list of places to go when I get to travel, though !

From what I hear, the Zion National Park in Utah is pretty spectacular, too, so you could stop there on your way

beautifully captured. Good detail in the foreground and the sky is not over saturated.

Thanks, I used HDR to make both the background and the foreground properly visible.
