Margaret Bending, Blood Sunset over Brisbane City. 29/12/2023 (URBAN 2024)

It had been stinking hot for a few days leading up to Christmas. Then we had some thunderstorms to cool it down a bit, and this day, the heat haze was back hanging over the city of Brisbane, Queensland. As the Sun started setting, it was a red hot colour. It slowly slipped down behind the haze when I quickly decided to take my shot as it started disappearing. You can just make out the buildings in the forefront. Taken with my Nikon D750, and a 70/ 200 mm lens. at 200 mm focal length. 1/100 sec. ISO 100, F22.
