366 Days of 2012, Day 331 - Skystruck

This evening was one of those evenings...

The sky was looking very dramatic so I grabbed my gear and headed down to the beach to photograph the sunset. At about 45 minutes from sunset it looked like the horizon was going to be clear making for a less than dramatic event while the stunning cloud formations over the hills were looking better and better.

I packed up and headed for higher ground but the rooftop I chose just did not have the vision of the city and the hills that I wanted. That's when I looked back at the sun now setting only to see the most amazing mix of cloud and setting sun. If only I'd stayed at the beach!!

Oh well, I looked straight up and this is what I captured as the last of setting sun's last rays caught the high cloud above me.
