I’m not exactly sure what caused me to look to the east today, for when I looked west, the sunset, while nice, was what I would call uneventful.
However, something caused my path to wander to the back of the house and I caught the reflection of the sunset off of the tops of the clouds in the east.
When I saw the towering cumulus I ran for my camera since I know from experience that the sunsets while sweet, can be very short. I decided to skip the tripod and bounded up the stairs and went out onto my west balcony. I climbed on the chair and hopped onto the roof from which I grabbed a ladder to get to the next level up.
Finally, from here I had a clear view of the sky.
Full sized panorama can be seen here.
Like I said, the light fades fast.
I don’t think the entire show lasted for more than ten to twelve minutes.
