Description
The sunset was on fire! The red colours were especially vivid. The sun was very low on the horizon and was illuminating the bottoms of clouds and those shaft of virga that happened to drift into those rays of red. The altocumulus clouds dotted the sky within somewhat disorganized gravity wave bands. The virga trailed earthward mainly from the altocumulus pieces to the south. I noted how the yellow portions of the sunset was not reflected. A simple consideration of the angles of reflection revealed that the forest along our shore line clearly hid the much more distant sunset skies. Simple geometry can be used to explain what is revealed by reflection.
I painted this same sky on a rough panel in #1885 "Pink Virga Sunset". It was a different day and a different surface and so, of course, the results are also different.
