Sunset.

The sun rays extended towards the sky like a thousand arms reaching out in a last effort to grab hold of the atmosphere. Black forbidding clouds continued to wrench the sun down towards the Earth. The Mountains lining the horizon held the clouds back, allowing us to drive further under clear skies. Turning back I watched the clouds succeed in their tug-of-war with the sun. Slowly, the light was dragged down behind the mountains only illuminating the outline of darkness for a short while. Now that the sun was gone they would fight to break free from the confinement of the mountains.
