Orange clouds at sunset

I saw these bright orange clouds on the horizon right at sunset while driving, and had to pull over to the side of the road and take photos.

    When I first saw this, I thought “Wow, that’s exactly the same as my sunset!” It does look just like the sunsets I see here in Australia. Well, the sun rises and sets the same across the world. Great photo!

    Cheers,
