The most patriotic sunset ever?

A photo posted online by a local NBC affiliate in central Virginia last week appears to show a U.S. flag depicted in a sunset.

According to WRVA-TV, two viewers submitted the photo which was snapped at the Virginia Center Commons on the eve of the 9/11 anniversary.

"Had to look twice. God is awesome," one individual commented on Facebook.

"That is awesome, God Bless America," echoed another.

Some said the photo was photoshopped, however, other pictures posted on the NBC affiliate's Facebook page appear to show different angles of the sunset.
