Picture Of The Day: Star-spangled Sky

Old Glory in the sky!

Star-spangled sky
Spectacular image by Chicago photographer Jeff Lewis appears to show an American flag in the sky

It may not be a Star-Spangled Banner, but this incredible photo of the evening sky is more like the US flag than any cloudscape you are likely to see.

The beautiful vista, tweeted by Chicago photographer Jeff Lewis, shows a cluster of dark blue clouds in the upper left-hand corner and a pattern of red horizontal stripes cast by the brilliant setting sun.

The pretty photo has already had more than 300,000 views on imgur, with some commenters wishing ‘the stars were out on the blue part of it’, while others said it had ‘blown their minds’.
