This could almost be a shadow shot with the cloud shadows in the sky. It may look like a scene from a movie about the end of the world but it is just the sun setting behind the coast range with a little air pollution adding to the color. My hill may be only 300' but that is enough to give me a view across the Sacramento Valley.

Wow Martha, that's spectacular! I'm amazed that a 300 ft hill can give such an expansive view. But guess the Sacramento Valley is really low.
I just love those, I guess they are not sunrays, but maybe shadow rays in the sky.
this is magnificent martha. thanks for sharing.
i have posted my sky at my blogspot today.

Just perfect! You couldn't have a better view.
This is a wow photo, Martha! Yes, air pollution adds a lot of colour to the skies, doesn't it? For sure that's why I see so many lovely sunsets. Thank goodness there's ONE positive about pollution. LOL
Very beautiful!
Clouds and their shadows sure do make that sunset spectacular. Amazing views from your hill!
Actually, they are called cloud shadows. Spectacular!!!

magnificent!
Glorious colours in your sunset!
Beautiful sky!
I had just finished commenting on Archie's smoggy sunset when I found yours. In truth, some of the best sunset photos I've ever produced have been "enhanced" by particulate matter. One of the more "interesting" things about living in the modern world? Anyway, this is lovely nonetheless. (Sorry for the double post; my fingers aren't working today.)
What a stunner, Gorgeous sky!!! I lived in Sacramento when I was a small child in the late 1940's, early 50's...
I love these colours! Awesome!
Like one of the scenes from the movie " 2012" Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
