Sunset between storm fronts, en route to Publix and Walgreen’s.

Taken on 21 June 2024 at 20:33 US Eastern Daylight Savings Time, as I hurried up the street through the break in the rain.





My limited equipment does the scene nothing even remotely resembling justice: neither the multi-layered gauzy rainbow-sherbet luminosity nor the grand theatricality of the skyscape, with the air of a vintage book illustration or a meticulously painted film backdrop. A detail I particularly like is the small dark cumulus cloud at bottom center that suggests a person astride a charging (pig? bear? huge dog?)

Lovely. I vote for huge dog!

And a hobbit as the rider?

[shirebound]

But of course! (LOL, I actually wrote a story about that, called "The Gift of Healing".)

Link, if you’d be good enough?

[shirebound]

Of course!

Were it not that, having discerned the need, she’ll already be doing those things. Thank you for passing that along!
