November 23 Sunset

The evening sky was especially beautiful today. Here's how it looked at Smith Farm when the sun was low:



At home,  a few minute later, it looked like this: 


Looks sort of like a galactic war over Chestnut Mountain.


Here's a closer look.


This one looks like a spaceship is hovering over Jack's Mountain.


Here's a closer look at Chestnut Mountain.


A few minutes later, the sun sank below the horizon. Jack's Mountain is to the right; the edge of Chestnut is to the left.




Another close-up shot of Chestnut Mountain.


You can see the mountains in Floyd County in this close-up.


 The sun sinks, but the odd clouds linger.


To the north, a narrow cloud-band stretched across the sky.




To the northeast, odd clouds hung over Smith Mountain.


The clouds put on quite a show today.
