RED SUN AT DUSK

Last night, soon after a grandson and his sweet wife left our house after having dinner and a visit here, they called from a cell phone.  We thought maybe they had left something behind.  No; they wanted to tell us about the incredible sun and "ordered" us to go outside to see it.

So glad they did!  Moments later, a friend in the photo-know also called.

This was just at dusk, and I was not certain I could even get a photo.

We were awed by the brilliant red-orange, and decided it was probably that way because

of the atmosphere created by forest fires "just over the hill' from us.

As dusk deepened, so did the intensity of orange-red of the setting sun.

This was a sun which kept all the glory to itself instead of letting it leak out and spread across

the sky in usual sunset-reaching colors.

Would it burst from sheer concentrated, held-in color?

(I never enhance my photos or saturate the colors; this is how we saw it).
