Caught this sunset from my balcony in San Diego on Sept.2. Too bad I was not at the beach at the time, but who could anticipate this? It lasted only about 3 min. Never seen a sky like that. Apparently these clouds are remnants of the hurricane John which pounded pacific coast of Mexico last week.

Thanks for the comments! Perhaps I should've saved it for the September Free Study? :)

Very nice shot. we had one like that here tonight the sun set just as a storm rolled out of the area. Always stunning results when that happens. We had company over for dinner and my wife warned me in advance that for no reason would I be leaving the house with my camera until our company had gone home. They stayed til Dark. :-(

A friend of mine sent me his photo of the same sunset

Unlike me, he happened to be in the open space at the time, so he got a really good view of it

I noticed this one (very cool shot) while browsing recent uploads tonight.

Escondido, CA. Is that close to you?

Yes, about 15-20 miles north-east. We do have clouds lately, indeed! Not so common around San Diego...
