Every now and then we get one of these weird sunsets in the east! It happens when the conditions for a sunset are there (setting sun and clouds), but there are no clouds in the west. The result may not be as dramatic as a bright western sunset, but it`s nice to see. It happened again just last week.
It started out with what I thought was a really interesting evening sky. It just smelled like a sunset might be coming, so I stayed out on the back deck to watch..
Over half an hour there were some interesting clouds; this line was the start of it.
That line of clouds broke up a little, and shifted position as it drifted to the east.
Soon, it was turning a faint pink.
And then a more dramatic pink! This is looking pretty well straight to the east.
After that picture, I turned around and for a brief second thought maybe we did get some western sunset, but but it was a reflection in the kitchen window!.
It never got to brilliant colours, but I find these `sunsets in the east fascinating.
In fact, it extended all the way from east of us overhead to south of us, but my camera wasn`t wide angle enough to capture it. I must try and remember that my cellphone can take panorama shots; it would have been perfect here.
A couple of you commented on the heat here, and I have to admit for those of you who live in Texas or Florida, it is probably almost cool. But when it hits 30°C (which is only 86°F), I begin to feel it, especially if it`s humid. I guess it`s what the body gets used to!

ReplyDeleteI am also uncomfortable by the time it gets to 85 and sunny. It is definitely what you are accustomed to experiencing. Love your pretty eastern sunset. Very nice indeed. :-)
