The sunset was such a surprise! Most fun to shoot than any other in my recent memory. The evening was looking to be a bust as there was a think cloud cover, but didn't have much choice as we were already there. I pick up a nice spot with a clear view of the lake with he Goose Island visible in the center. I was looking to "document" that I was there and didn't expect any magical light whatsoever. It all changed in the last few minutes of sunset. I almost started to pack my camera gear but saw the clouds clear out at the horizon just enough for the sun to peak out and produce these remarkable colors!

Bizarre to see the deep red hues on the clouds with a bit of sun still hanging out from the other end! Was super excited and can hear some others cheering when the colors started to appear overpowering the sad grey clouds! I think we were super lucky to be there to witness am amazing turn of events! This is an outlier of an experience as it is usually the other way around where a good looking evening turns out to be a boring grey sunset! Do you have any similar experiences? Tag your photos in the comments, I will love to take to admire them!
