Re: OT Clouds

Ours?? Really- I've been thoroughly underwhelmed by sunsets here. Occassionally we'll have a halfway decent one, but most of the time there is nothing. Maybe I was just spoiled by all of the amazing sunsets when I lived in western NY state (near Niagara Falls), and of course when I was in Maine.

There surely enough sunset to go around. The ones in Sacramento--all that desert dust blowing out to sea--were among the best I've ever seen. But these are passing fair.

although it is a great sunset.. sure doesn't look
natural to us northerners...:)

Chris used to have some awesome ones over the plains
and fields... maybe he will provide a link if he still
has them online.

Clouds can be really interesting. We have great
clouds here all the
time. There is an artist in Sarasota [teaches at
Ringling] who seems to
specialize in cloudscapes. Some friends of Ms
Fatma's commissioned a
very large painting for up under the skylight in
their atrium. We went
to the unveiling. Awesome. The colors were a perfect
Gulf Coast sunset.

Here's what the real McCoy looks like

They were off to the

before.  Lovely.
