Eastern Sky at Sunset
A hot humid evening following a thunder shower produced the atmospheric conditions that made this image possible. Soon after the sunset the eastern sky acquired a beautiful muted glow combining blues and reds with many shades between the two extremes.
Don’t forget to check the eastern sky during a spectacular sunset, on occasion it will equal or surpass the main event.

It looks like the rays are reaching out to you. That is truly lovely, Salty!
ReplyDeleteStunning
ReplyDeleteMoody pink rays seem to burst from the mounatin top! lovely!
ReplyDeletePretty in pink with a blue overlay. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteNow, THAT, is great post-sunset color and Alpenglow to boot! I'll bet the scene was just awesome. Very nice photo. That's been my experience with alpenglow as well--more pastel and muted colors, but beautiful none the less.
ReplyDeleteI need your help, Salty. I'm having a "Name the Newt" contest on my web site for the opportunity to win my September Print of the Month.
I have a post about it on my blog here.
I'd appreciate your getting the word out since I'd like to see a blogger win (but I'm not even a judge in my own contest...)
Thanks, Jim
