The sunset is fabulous here as you can see and with that cloud inversion creating a false sea, it is magical to experience. Sunlight reflects on the cloud tops and changes colour constantly. It was so peaceful here as I stood alone amongst all the beauty around me, with noone else around.
I could never tire of a scene such as this, with the gradual change of colour tones in the sky as twilight progresses. I think seeing the observatory silhouetted (photo 5) just sets the whole surreal scene. The last photo shows my location for photographs tonight.
What you don't see is the clouds moving - I don't mean in these photos, I mean as you look at the view with your eyes. I've therefore included a 12 second timelapse showing the scene over a period of around 14 minutes. Enjoy.Read more
TravelerGreat images, thank you. A magical experience and I can see why you just want to stop and watch it. I think the time-lapse episode is stunning, it really gives the viewer a sense of what you are experiencing! Thank you especially for that thoughtful addition.

TravelerThanks Richard. I'm pleased with the timelapse too as it shows what our eyes can't see.
TravelerLove the time lapse of the clouds
