This is not a reference to my prairie upbringing, but coincidentally, I have not experienced regular quality sunsets since 2004 when I lived in Saskatchewan. Unfortunately there are still some distant trees obstructing my full view of the sky, but I am thankful for the 90% now visible through a west-facing bay window in my new home. I am not an artist by any stroke of the imagination, but I recently tried to paint a background scene for my son's train set. I made a palette out of some old flooring and tried mixing colours and creating shadows. I felt pretty proud until I saw the sunset...I guess I'll leave the art to the Artist. Some crazy parallel cirrus clouds from the horizon up, each layer a different colour and each cloud with a perfect blend of light and shadow. Thanks for the sunset and my new vantage point - this is a bonus at the end of the day. Plus, it makes the wife happy.
