~ Orange Sky ~

View On Black

 

Most thunderstorms occur in the late afternoon. By this time of day, the sun is setting. The orange hue is caused by the same process that causes the vivid colors at sunsets. Shorter wavelengths of light (blue) are scattered quickly, leaving only the yellow-orange-red end of the spectrum.

 

We've been having some storms the past couple of days..This is was the sky looked like this evening from my deck.. looked kinda surreal to me..
