Painting the Alps

Driving back from the San Bernardino Pass the sun was setting and resetting as it was eclipsed by one mountain but was still lighting others further along. We stopped at almost every opportunity beside the road to keep snapping photos. We became a little obsessed. But you don't get opportunities like this every day. It reminds me of one evening in Namibia when the sun suddenly brought all the mountains alive with a rich, complex texture of light. Like a painting.
