A large sky showing the end of a sunset, reds and purples of whispery clouds dive I think a yellow at the horizon, an edge of trees at the bottom on silhouette.

Sunset just now.
#sunset #photography #skyscape

A photo of a sunset. The bottom is the land in deep shadow, with the tops of trees and houses. The sky goes from purple, to light blue, to the gold at the bottom edge of the sky. Dark clouds edged in oranges make their way across the sky.
