Zvi Haffner: "I took this photo during a stroll in the countryside near Chorley. As dusk approached, the sky painted itself in a rich tapestry of deep reds, casting its radiant reflection upon the tranquil surface of the lake below. Mesmerised by the evolving sunset, I found myself entranced for a full half-an-hour, witnessing the incredible spectacle."
