Yesterday evening’s sunset

Picture of the Moment

Cloud formations are few and far between here in San Diego. It’s basically all clouds or no clouds, and usually the “all clouds” are from the daily marine layer or the ugly, dull, gray, heavy clouds from that give us “May Gray” and “June Gloom” each year.

Yesterday’s late evening clouds indicated that we were going to have a spectacular sunset, and my Canon 550D was not disappointed. At 7:10 it looked like this:

Thirty minutes later it was even more spectacular with colors filling the sky in all directions.
