Just a short few minutes after realizing one of my dream shots of downtown Dallas, the western sky erupted in blazing color. The sunset illuminated a field of mammatus lining the outer cloud shield of a departing storm complex—the same one that added another citywide torrent of runoff to an already flood-swollen Trinity River. With a sunset like this on one side, and on the other, America’s best skyline framed by warm color and water reflection while turning on its nightly light show, it was a visual evening for the ages.
