Arachnid Cloud

Looking spider-like, this lone cloud is brilliantly tinted by the sun which had disappeared below the horizon about 15 minutes earlier. This photograph looks northwest over East Robins Road from near the grounds of Christ Community United Methodist Church in Marion, Iowa just after 9:00 PM on Saturday, July 2, 2011. The image was shot at 1/200 second, f/9 aperture, 320 ISO and 55mm focal length.
