I found these pics from last fall, one of the nicest sunsets I've seen. The cool part is these are actually the eastern sky as the sun went down over the mountains west of us. I took these with my cell phone from our deck. Enjoy.

Wow! That is remarkable that was to the east. What did the west look like?

The west part of it was pretty ordinary. No clouds. Just the way the east and south clouds stacked up I guess.

Couple more random pics. Crowsnest Mtn just west of our home and a storm brewing to the south. We get some pretty dramatic weather shifts sometimes due to the Rockies nearby.

...plus a wore out partner after a full day moving cows a few months ago. Does his face say "long day" or what?

I've seen that happen before when the sun is shinning on the underside of the clouds and not through them.

It sure does. Hope he got double oats for his efforts.

Haha, ya he eats his and everybody else's usually.

Sounds like my cat.

Thanks, RanchRoper. Beautiful shots at sunset. I've often noticed more drama and variation of colors in the Eastern sky at sunset because of the strong illumination from under the clouds and the angle of the light as it hits dust and gas in the atmosphere. Very cool.
