Evolution of a Sunset

Tonight while I was finishing up editing a recent wedding, I couldn't help notice some wicked cool cloud formations right at dusk out my window. I was so intrigued by the ominous nature of them that I grabbed my 16-35mm and headed out on the front porch to catch a few frames.

What followed, in a rather rapid progression, was a beautiful transformation of the sky turning from beautiful golden tones to a fiery pinkish-orangeish-redish. As soon as I started seeing the pink color start to appear, I realized that I needed a better vantage point than the ground. So I scrambled out through the girls closet window onto the roof to capture some of the vibrant colors taking shape. The sky looked like it was literally on fire in the far distance -- extremely awesome.

The following pictures show a 10-minute time lapse of the sky from tonight. No Photoshop here; pictures are straight out of the camera. Super sweet!
