Portland, OR. (lemmy.nz)

There's a sunset every day, for everyone, and anyone can see it just by going outside on a clear day and having a look. That means that while sunsets are beautiful, pictures of the sky are also largely worthless cause they can be had by anyone with a cellphone.

Well, the sky did this.

I had never seen these shenanigans before or after May 9, '26. (That's right, I've sat on this for four months. Sorry.) I've only ever seen these skies glowing this pinkish orange, this sleepy evening pastel explosion, just quite like this, exactly once. I stood there for a long time until the hue shifted far enough and the light left. It was a good day.

In particular, I enjoy the boundary framing from the tall building on the right.

Thanks for seeing my work!

I did stand there in awe! A friend captured this right behind me, as I was shooting.
