Just before dark Friday evening, all the world was suffused with a warm glow from the clouds, which were illuminated by the setting sun. This was the view to our south from our driveway at the back of the house.
Just as I got my iPhone out to take this panorama the color of the clouds started to fade. Just a few seconds earlier the pink was deeper.
This was the view from the front of the house, towards the east.
This shot was taken about a minute after the previous one. There is a thunderstorm cloud just at the left edge of this image. It’s a smaller cloud in front of the elongated cloud on the left. The elongated cloud looks like the top of an anvil cloud, but I think it was actually not associated with the thunderstorm. The thunderstorm was located about 20 miles away over a little town called Adairsville on I-75.
The clouds on the right of the lower image are the same as those on the left of the first image.
Of course there was no good or easy way to capture the warm glow on the ground and the clouds in the same image.
Really so nice to see the sunset there. We haven’t seen color in the sky here in quite a while. It’s always such a treat when the skies fill with such color.
Robin — Actually, we rarely see the sun setting unless we’re not at home. Mostly what we see is the glory of the sunset reflected on the clouds we see to the East. But still. it’s pretty nice.
