Last night this sunset appeared framed in our living room window. Finally, I couldn't stand it and grabbed my camera. The Hudson River School of painters, came to mind. This sunset would be perfect glazed in layers as part of a misty landscape.



About a week ago, this sunset splashed across the sky--a once in a lifetime spectacular!!!

A wonderful sunset indeed with mammatus clouds forming. Was it followed by a big storm?

That orange sky is amazing. It looks like an upside down desert. Very cool.
