While driving home this afternoon, there were well-defined darkish clouds set against a clear blue sky. It was mid-afternoon or just after. "Could be a nice sunset" I said to SWMBO. There's often lots of reds here in dusty old Texas! Arriving home, I get to looking at LED floodlights on the web but then I glance out the window and already see reds in the clouds. Panic! I grab the Sigma and rush out onto our street with a sense of foreboding since it faces north and I want to be on the other, the east-west street.
A quick shot to the north, which proves my expertise as a forecaster but not as a time-keeper:
Swiftly I march up to the corner and grab another quick shot to the west of what now seem to be fading reds:
Unfortunately, the expansive vista is a few hundred feet further, over a slight rise, and by the time I get there:
At this latitude (30N). the sun sets pretty quick - even at this time of the year.
Ho hum
P.S. please pardon the Real World shots, not my style, I know ;-)
