July 29, 7:30 PM. -- Remember the old TV commercial where a little girl and her Dad are watching a sunset. As the sun dropped below the horizon she says "Do it again Daddy". That is exactly the feeling I had last Monday as we watched this sunset. I wanted to say to my Heavenly Father to "Do it again Daddy". Each and every day He creates unique sunrises & sunsets that will never be repeated. This was one of His masterpieces.

It seem quite unnatural (the lightning). Not sure this is because of the resolution or shadows are pulled too much.
