There is a saying about a red sky in the evening...
And apparently Nostadamus indicated that when east meets west the sky will be red.

Wow that's vivid!

Great shot. Interesting how bland the top part is.

Indeed, the contrast between the top and the bottom part of the sky looks very interesting. A very dramatic and visually impressive shot. :-)

Top part is clear sky, red part is cloud bottom is land (trees houses, buildings)

Thanks Depp

Here is another part of the sky

Is this a seasonal thing, or all-year-round possibility dependent on the weather?

Totally dependent on the weather. Currently we have howling South Easter with temp around 33C (sticky sweaty) and also we had brushfire which most likely added to the effect (smoke).

But often our sunsets are spectacular. I had neighbors from Germany who, when here, would sit and have sundowners and absorb the sunsets.

OK on the weather.
And that sounds like a very civilized way to end the day

Great Shot

You're very welcome.

Absolutely awesome capture Droffarc.    That's truly a blood red sunset.

Thanks Downtown, I could not remember the saying...
I dunno if the sailors were delighted with today, wind is pumping something terrible, so they would have to sail wuth a wossname as a break or they will break speed limits without hoisting any sail or flag even.

On the other side, when we have wind like this then deep inland (Gauteng etc) get lotsa rain, but I get the impression they have enough already. See the Augrabies waterfall in the Orange river

OMG, that's a lot of water.  I'd say they had way too much already.  

Spectacular usually the next day is a beautiful one.

That looks very good!

Red sky at night is a Sheppards delight

Interesting! I wonder why that woud be.

Thank you Peter

You're welcome!

Droffarc Posted at 1-14 10:31

It has something to do with the amount of moisture in the air.
Not sure what the exact story behind it is.
