Another Sunset at 75 MPH



The clouds broke up quickly, producing two very different skies taken only 15 minutes apart last Thursday. The sunset from I-25 is overcast and ominous, while the sunset form the parking lot shows off colorful, wispy clouds that are much more reassuring. 

Last night, the sun yawned and stretched, as dusk put it to bed, producing a wonderful array of colorful patterns in the radial and spoke shaped clouds that fanned out across the sky. Like an apparition, the colored sky slipped away silently into darkness as the sun sank towards vespers, bringing on the night.

  1. They are all great.
    This year I have become so much more aware of how far south the sun really is now.
    Fabulous colors!
    I guess I am going to have to work up the courage to try photos at 75 mph. I think I'll use the little camera, though, in case it goes flying out the window. :D

  2. A small camera with good auto-focus works best. You don't stick the camera out the window, and you don't look at it either. Photographs at high speed are pure chance shots. Most of mine end up out of focus or all out of cantor.

  3. But you sure get a few good ones every now and then.
