It is late summer now and the sun is sinking lower towards the horizon each day. Last night was the first of sherbet skies- there is a seam of firey orange on the horizon, in the space between the mountain peaks and the low hanging clouds. To the west, swirls of pink mingle with blue sky. As the hours pass, the clouds shift and the light changes varying the shades of orange and gold and pink. I am fortunate to be working at the airfield where I have plenty of time to watch the light show.
For months now, the sun has stayed high in the sky, appearing to circle overhead. The cloud patterns may change, storms come and go, but the sun stays about the same. Intense white light. But now, at the end of the austral summer, as the sun sinks low, the colors return. The mountains glow with the sunlight reflecting off the glaciers. I snap a few photos, but none begin to show the beauty of this evening.
