One of the Best Sunsets I Have Seen....No Seriously

Adjectives are tough to bring to mind when attempting to explain this sight last Thursday evening. I was walking with my head down and focus primarily on responding to a friend’s text message last Thursday. I was so engulfed in my cellular device that I did not even look up. Finally, about midway through my walk, I could see these bright colors out of the corner of my eye. So visually striking that even as I needed to respond to this friend, I could not help but look up. When I did so, I was simply amazing.

Sunsets are so fascinating to me from a personal perspective. Every time we see a unique sunset, we cannot help but shout from the heavens that this is the best sunset we have ever seen, no doubt about it. Whether it’s the color, the vastness, or the beautiful clouds, every sunset seems to be the next best one.

As I say all of this, I have to be honest that I think this was one of the best sunsets I have experienced for a couple reasons. First, the colors were stunning, especially because of the progression of color. The core of the sunset was a bright yellow and orange, but as your eyes shifted out of the core of the sun, you were blown away by the combination of blue and red that had trailing wisps of clouds that painted the sky.

Another aspect of this sunset that I had not previously experienced before was the effect the colors had on everything around me. The buildings were beaming with the same yellow, red, and orange that could be sun from above. Even the cars seen in the picture above had this same tint on the roof of the car.

The layering of the clouds was another added element to this masterpiece. The sky was not a flat canvas but one with depth and layers to it. Concentration of color on some parts of the clouds while absence of color on others.

All-in-all, one of the best sunsets I have seen….but I’m sure you will be hearing that again from me sometime soon.
