Sunset: A Dazzling Gold

We went to burn some calories one night recently at the local YMCA while my youngest daughter, Itsy Bit, was doing her weekly gymnastics lesson. She pointed out the rainbow in the southern sky as we were entering the building.

But that was nothing compared to the brilliant golden sunset in a cloudless sky. The sky was quite hazy though so the sun was dazzling in its golden hue.

But the more beautiful rainbow colors were portrayed across the sunset sky itself in smooth transitions from one hue to the next. I had not seen anything like it before. White to yellow to orange to pink to blue to violet. I was fortunate to capture the American flag in the image to give it some depth.

Quite a palette in this skyscape. Living the Moment.
