Great Plains sunsets rightly have a reputation for brilliance and splendor, but this one was royalty among the high echelon. First, it unexpectedly painted the western sky in a spectacular light (with pillar!). Then, even as the overhead colors started to fade, the intricately textured clouds in the farthest part of the western sky seemed to ignite with stunning depth of both color and pattern, best revealed by a deep zoom. Despite the lack of storms on this repositioning day, I went into Chadron for the night blessed and content.
