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 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?)

That is just gorgeous. So metallic looking too. I like how you have the color palette there too.

What a fabulous skyscape. It has everything! Dazzling and just a little sinister...

It's a wonderfully dramatic sunset!

Yes, I've often found what the camera sees is not at all what I'm seeing. But it's still great color!

Tasty

these colors capture rainbow sherbet perfectly. (As far as the animal goes, I vote dragon)

Nicely. It suggests mystical thoughts.

Beautiful! It reminds me of this meme :) https://preview.redd.it/oerqef3y25f81.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=3493a22e1b58a0dcb09e152de3f5928af8e4b135
