Sunset after the rain

It has been raining rather often in Penang lately. (and in the rest of the country too, it seems) I can't remember when I took this photo, but it was after a rather heavy downpour during office hours...and when I was driving home from work I got this blinding sunset in my eyes (thank goodness for sunglasses).

But blinding or not, I found the colours really beautiful...like a "real" sunset! lol One that we don't see all that often...

So I pulled out my camera (I somehow "managed" to be the first car stopped at the traffic light) and quickly snapped a photo...there wasn't much time to adjust any settings, even the little time I used to switch to scenery mode cost me a motorcyclist's head in front of me (see that roundish shape in the photo? :P )


Anyway, even though the photo is a bit blurred, and not exactly the greatest sunset photo one could hope for...I still like it because of the lovely colours! (or colour...lol) Doesn't it look a bit like the sepia effect we can choose on phone cameras?

It was a lucky thing that the photo challenge was still going on at the time... You might have noticed that it is over now (or more like on hold...we might find new topics later on! For 2012 maybe... :P ) Well, because of the photo challenge I had been bringing my camera around...these past few days it has been hibernating at home! I'm wondering whether I should start bringing it out again...
