It is 7:08 pm and the sun is setting. The sky is gold upon the horizon and pale blue everywhere else. The only clouds are just above the horizon and are dark.

Sounds ominous.

... and lovely.

Her horizon is dark with gathering clouds. We could all be seconds from a nuclear flash across the heavens, left with life for just long enough to panic with the awareness we have become X-rays.

Sounds very peaceful.

I have been watching a lot of videos lately about the Younger Dryas event, around 12,000 years ago, and how it was probably caused by a cometary impact that wiped out most of the world's megafauna and is probably recorded in stone age art at places like Göbekli Tepe. It has given me a fresh appreciation for a peaceful sunset.

Also, you can get stuff for the garden in the event of a cometary impact from Robert Dryas.

I shall post some of my sunset photos in this thread.

The clouds have turned bright red.

Red sky at night, Angel Delight.

Red sky in the morning, something something something, something something, warning.

Red sky in the morning...

The sun's just set - and it's not even five o'clock yet. Winter is here.

While virtual-visiting Illiopolis, IL I accidentally came across this beautiful sunset

Futures fused like shattered glass, the suns so low
