Sunset hour on the Great Plains of South Dakota had multiple magical moments packed into one sublime experience. After a glorious showing of anticrepusculars and a sepia sky toward the setting sun, the day’s last rays got under a deck of altocumulus clouds trailing an thunderstorm complex, and lit up lower fractocumulus scud. The entire time, meadowlarks sang in the cool outflow breezes, and the earth gave of a quenched, moist aroma, as if the entire landscape slowly heaved a sigh of satisfaction.
