I drove home tonight under the strangest, most amazing skies I think I’ve ever seen. The weather here has been “unsettled” (defined as rain, hail, thunderstorms, clearing, rain, thunderstorms, and repeat at intervals) for days and tonight we got just about everything. Strong thunderstorm blew through about 7:15, it cleared by 8, and by 8:40, a brilliant setting sun reflecting back off the low cloud cover turned the entire sky a bright pink-orange. And that light in turn painted everything I could see…

Just for contrast, here’s what that church looks like in regular light:
