I swear, none of the above are photoshopped. We don’t have smog, so it must be water particles and a little dirt in the air that refracts the sunlight as it travels through more atmosphere as it is emitted from a sharper angle toward earth.

Limo Driver With Sign: They say the smog is the reason we have such beautiful sunsets.
Ray “Bones” Barboni: That’s what they say, huh? What a bunch of f*ckin bullshit.
