Volcanic Sunset, 29 August 2008

[Talitha]

Got these pics on Friday night while camping at one of the local lakes.. the color was absolutely stunning.

From spaceweather.com:

VOLCANIC SUNSETS: Sky watchers across the USA and Europe are reporting unusually colorful sunsets and sunrises. The cause appears to be the August 7th eruption of the Kasatochi volcano in Alaska. The volcano hurled a massive cloud of ash and sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere; high winds have since carried the aerosols over parts of the USA and Europe, producing widespread "volcanic sunsets."

I love the first shot the foreground plants silouetted against the beautiful colours of the sunset looks superb.

Thanks.

As usual though, the pics can't compare to what it actually looked like.

Keep your cameras handy.
