It started out looking like this:

Here's a close-up of the bright spots:

(Looks like an ice-skater to me.)

A few minutes later, it looked like this:

One of the SkyWatch bloggers last week gave good advice in his post: When you're seeing a beautiful sunset in the western sky.......turn around and look to the east, for there might be a lovely sight there, too. And, this time there was:

Gorgeous photos and an interesting tip about the west v the east. When we were at the Grand Canyon last year, we waited around to take sunset pictures. We were there well before sunset and were surprised to see lots of people facing the east. Much to our surprise and delight, as the sun set, there were so many layers of colors on the horizon (in the east), it was truly an eye-opening experience.
