September Sunset #SkywatchFriday

The TV made me do it.

On the last day of September, I was watching the end of the local 6pm news.  The newscaster said something like "you really need to go outside and watch the sunset."  Their studio is high up on a hill, but I'm not.  Still, I grabbed my phone and headed for a place to watch.


The nice thing about living in a small city is that the broadcasters are local, too.  That newscaster wasn't kidding - I started to take pictures even before I got to where I wanted to stand. 

The horizon looked like it was on fire.
The west looked fine.
So I decided to point my camera in another direction. 
Along the river, an egret caught my eye.  You can barely see him (or her) as a tiny white dot towards the bottom center of the picture - this is as far as I could zoom my phone.

You could see the reflection of the sunset on the water.

Too soon, the show was over.  Thank you, local newscaster.  I may be treasuring this evening for days to come.

  1. I'm surprised the newscaster told you to go out before you went on your own. He got the jump on you. Whatever the reason, it's a good thing you got out there with your camera, that sky wasn't something to have missed.
