The sunset … in the east
About 30 minutes before the sunset, nothing much was happening in the western sky. The sun was still hanging well above the horizon, surrounded by white clouds in a blue daylight sky. I figured I’d have to wait quite a while to catch any goldenhour photo worthy of the term.
Soft white and deep blue and flaming orange
While I lingered on the rooftop, I turned towards the east. There, right in front of my eyes, was this massive, billowing cloud of flaming orange.
All framed by a few black clouds and the deep blue of the late afternoon sky. And with a few soft tufts of white gently wafting from its peak.
