This corker of a sunset took shape over Fort Beach twenty minutes after yesterday’s image and, the kicker is, that it wasn’t even the best light to come out of this evening’s outing. I had already shared the incredible pink-purple light that followed this golden glow by five minutes. However, this color was too good not to share as well.

At this point in the evening, I was set up on Fort Sewall Lane with a tripod and had watched as kids came and went from the waters below. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the cloud formations seemed to explode with golden light that reflected as a deeper orange glow in the still water of the harbor.

It goes to show that these summer sunsets really can keep building in color long after the sun has officially set.
