Sunset Side Show

[AlanLichty]

I was looking around for an amazing sunset last night but got foiled once again by the pesky marine layer out along the horizon - or so I thought. I landed my drone and was just getting ready to fold up the arms when I spotted a higher layer of clouds that suddenly lit up with some nice oranges and reds so I set the drone back down and sent it back up to grab this four panel panorama at 28mm looking south over Vancouver Lake. Best viewed on a wide monitor at full size.

C&C always welcome.

Awesome capture!

The different cloud layers seem to be moving in opposite directions across the frame.

Thanks Michael - my impression was the same as yours with two different cloud layers and each with their own direction of travel. The top later with the color here had only barely been visible during most of the sunset and only lit up after the light and color had almost entirely gone dark in the lower layer. There was no color at all 90º to the right of this view where the sun had set a little earlier.
