Following one of the most spectacular High Plains sunsets I’ve seen, the atmosphere only slowly wound down its astounding performance, drawing a denouement to the color extravaganza with this pacifying early-twilight coloration. The last direct rays, optimally reddened through maximal atmospheric path, still illuminated the highest parts of the storm complex’s backsheared anvil and mammatus region. Meanwhile, clouds of all sorts below (including tower tops) shared the reflected sunlight with my eyeballs and the camera lens, then long thereafter, your eyes at this very second.
