He Soars

Uploaded: January 11, 2009

Description

This was our sunset a couple of nights ago. The sun had set 20 minutes prior to this beam of light showing up and shooting straight up into the heavens. We'd like to believe it's our friend's soul shooting into the heavens after he was killed tragically in a car accident.
