日落紅 Red sunset / 香港之寧 Hong Kong Serenity / SML.20130620.7D.42890

The sunset was red yesterday evening—literally. I have never seen the sun in such vibrant red except in books perhaps so I took a photo.

 

I was not entirely sure under which condition would render the sun in this color. Could it be that the clouds were very thick and so all which was revealed is left behind as a red sphere in the sky?

 

If you zoom to the right you will see a helicopter flying near the mountain. Lately I have been seeing a lot of helicopters passing through but I do not really know why that is either.
