Had a mild storm blow through before sundown. Just as the sun was setting behind the hills, I noticed one astonishing rainbow, and I watched it fade visibly as I got the camera ready. The pics I did get of it were dismal compared to what was in the sky mere seconds earlier…
As the sun set, the north-western sky took on the look of soft pastels with dark streaks:
After this, I went inside, as the show was clearly over. Except… it wasn’t. Not even close. A few minutes later the inside of my house lit up red.

Those bottom photos are downright spectacular.
North Dakota is noted for beautiful sunsets, and those beat around 99.99% of the ones I’ve seen.
Ventura has great sunrises. I came out to walk the dogs and the entire sky looked like the last picture. the clouds looked like they were all at the same altitude and density, it looked like a huge lava field upside down
The simple joy that is affordable high quality cameras, and convenient means of sharing the take thereof.
