Clouds at Sunset

 

I was hoping for a brilliant sunset this last weekend since we had such cloudy and rainy days.  

Since the clouds were breaking up a bit Saturday evening, I thought that might be the best chance.  However, this was the best we got.  

It was pretty enough.  Just not the explosion of red I was hoping for.

 I actually went out at 6:00 PM to see how the clouds were shaping up as the sun was starting to slip downward.  You can see why I was hopeful.  There were lots of clouds that could reflect the sun as it sunk below the horizon.  But in the end the reflections only happened low in the sky.
