That’s Venus setting last night, behind “some rain that didn’t reach the ground,” as John Hinkey described it. The forecast looks good for at least today and tomorrow – so you might see something just as, if not more, beautiful tonight.
Yes, go watch the sunset tonight or tomorrow night, but don’t leave after the sun goes down – typically that’s when the really beautiful scenes happen. I stayed until 9:45 last night to take this and many other nice images.
No one will read this but it’s called virga,when precipitation (rain,ice crystals) evaporate before reaching the ground. Wiki it.
Actually I have occasion to use that again, as I have another photo from someone from TONIGHT’s sunset :) – TR
I read it! Now I know what to call it. Thanks thistle stair.
