Sunset

The other evening there was a beautiful sunset here.  I was just getting home from walking the dog when I noticed the white wisps of cloud showing some pink.  I grabbed the camera and tripod and headed out back to where I could get a clear view.  For the next 15 minutes I just clicked away as the sunset spread across the entire sky, and then gradually faded away to the west.

This was about as bright as it got.

It started with a view to the north.

 And then I realized the sky to the south was pink too.

 Large streaks of pink cloud to the southwest.

 
 The sky gets darker and the sunset starts to fade.

 Goodnight!

  2. That is a very beautiful sunset sky. I always watch for the sunset to see if I need to grab my camera and get some photos but there haven't been many good ones this month. You got some beautiful photos!

  5. Believe it or not, I heard on the weather the other night (on our CTV affiliate) that we are going to see redder sunsets for awhile due to the fires in California! The guy talked about jet streams and how the particulate in the smoke absorbs blue light, etc. Sad to think such a terrible thing produces such beauty.
