Those are the kinds of shots you only get when you have your camera handy. They don't last long. Nice job!

Thanks guys, You are right jinman I was out grilling some chicken and had just had the camera out a few moments before. My 4 year old daughter and I were looking at it and discussing why the clouds were red and she is acutally the one that suggested that we take a picture of it. She is a real thinker, very smart.

Red Sky at night...Sailor's Delight
Red Sky in morning, Sailor's take warning...

Here's what it means:

Red sky at night, sailors delight.
When we see a red sky at night, this means that the setting sun is sending its light through a high concentration of dust particles. This usually indicates high pressure and stable air coming in from the west. Basically good weather will follow.

Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning.
A red sunrise reflects the dust particles of a system that has just passed from the west. This indicates that a storm system may be moving to the east. If the morning sky is a deep fiery red, it means a high water content in the atmosphere. So, rain is on its way.

So, it may look eerie, but you probably had good weather the next day

Nope no tripod, just off hand with my kodak 6490 camera. I did however have it on the night setting which I find works well when the light is limited.


So, it may look eerie, but you probably had good weather the next day

Actually it was raining when I woke up this morning and they are calling for 90% chance of more rain today.
