Here's the #evening #Sun in a relatively #cloudless sky. However, the #cloud in this image adds an interesting feature to what would otherwise be a rather bland scene, apart from the irregular and rather baroque #horizon. I actually like the #LensFlare in the image around the Sun along with its apparent rays.
Paisajes imposibles.
Hacia el horizonte.

No, I'll start again. The #atmosphere is quite #turbulent at present and that means #wind and sharp #showers now and then. It does make for rather dramatic #cloud formations.
Looking at a reasonably steep angle, you can see some #Altocumulus #Clouds building up.
Looking more towards the #horizon, the extent of the clouds is evident.
As it's the eve of the #SummerSolstice here, and everywhere else in this #hemisphere, the #Sun will set at virtually its most #northerly bearing on the #western #horizon. I waited for the #Sun actually to disappear and leave its glowing halo.
From the vantage point of my house, I can see a couple of #TelecommunicationTowers on the #horizon, meaning they are many kilometres away. Here, I've made use of my #TelephotoLens to get quite a good detailed #photograph of the taller #tower in the #evening #twilight.
Interesting. At around #sunset, the #contrails of passenger #aeroplanes glows very brightly and is visible from very far out. I spotted an #airliner near the #horizon which was heading this way and very roughly measured the time it took to pass by. That was around 15 minutes. Assuming that it was cruising at about 1000 km/h, it means that I must have spotted it about 250 km in the distance! Even if my timing was grossly overestimated at it was a mere 10 minutes, that still means I saw it around 170 km away when I first spotted it.
More #DramaInTheClouds. The #picture changes minute by minute and I think these #photographs show the interaction of #AirPressure, #Moisture and #Light.
First, a #panorama, looking #west.
Next, zooming in to see layered #clouds in #greys and #PaleGolds. You can see the cellular structure of the clouds.
Finally, here's the interplay between #foreground #silhouetted #roofs and #background clouds on the #horizon.
Three non-conspiracies in one #photograph during today's #sunset. There is a #WaxingCrescent #NewMoon, to which humans have been in my lifetime. The #contrail that a passing #aeroplane is illuminated by the setting #Sun and is made up of water droplets condenses out of hot exhaust #gases of the #JetEngines. Oh, and the #Earth is round, as is evidenced by the fact that the Sun sets at different bearings on the #horizon at different times of year and the angle at which it sets is dependent on the latitude at which you happen to live.
It's interesting to observe the effects of #framing on the mood of a #photograph. Here is this #evening's #sunset and #sky is relatively clear and bright. The #seagull seems to be carefree too.
However, #zooming into #trees near the #horizon, suddenly, it's dark and a little bit foreboding, the #gull even adds a bit of suspense to the image. I'm calling this Sunset, Seagull, #Silhouettes.
In the early #evening a few minutes ago, the setting #Venus (sometimes called the #EveningStar) was bright near the #SouthWest #Horizon. It is currently is #Sagittarius and if you look closely, you can see #PhiSagittarii to the left and #LambdaSagittarii to the right of it. Exposure time: 0.3 s, ISO 250, focal length 220 mm, Aperture f/5.6.

This is for @Sunyata ☸ 👨🏻💻 ☮ for the beautiful leafy canopy which I'm currently using as a desktop walpaper, and for @Aurin who likes to post photographies of the sky above their home.
It shows the #horizon as seen from my #balcony with a big #cloud hovering over the #town one evening some weeks ago. It is in the public domain, so everyone take it and use it as they wish...

#Sunset this #evening was colourful. I took these #photographs with a quite small #FocalLengths to give me a wider sweep of the #sky.
This one includes #pink #clouds and the #Moon. The latter is quite hazy owing to the amount of moisture in the intervening atmosphere.
Here, we're looking in the direction that the #Sun has set and you can discern some beams of light emanating from it even though it's below the #horizon. Of course, as were nearly at the #solstice, this is near the most #north-westerly #bearing that it sets at.
