A Warm Day

After releasing heat to the ground for the whole day, the sun is fading from our eyesight but it has created the warm atmosphere for the evening. I was driving on Tasek Road (Sultan Azlan Shah Road). When reaching the flyover that crosses over the railway, the scene of sunset is amazing & I captured this photo. You will find the Tasek Cement factory is also in the frame. Is this photo able to tell the heat I feel?
