The impending sunset held a promise. There were scattered clouds, not too concentrated at the horizon. The perfect scenario for a back lit extravaganza . As the big orange ball dropped lower in the sky it took on shades of magenta and red. I ran for the camera and tripod. I was convinced that civil twilight, that part of sunrise and sunset when the sun lies just below the horizon, would be amazing. Under the right conditions civil twilight paints the sky in pinks, reds and violets and back lights the clouds with reflected light. It is often more beautiful than sunset itself.
On this night there was no light show, rather only a brief moment when the clouds glowed pink. I was there to capture it.
Life is good.
