Sky for today ~ Pseudo cyclone cloud sunset

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

5 sequential photographs show the making of a cyclone-like cloud at sunset...

We had a gloomy, 'dirty' sky of greys and dull blues... but a brilliant sun. Not all sunsets are reds and orange-golds... I kinda like these 'off-road' sunsets too... The more unusual, the more I'm interested... :)

This is my Sky for Today.

Caught the sparkly sunshiney sun before it went down the horizon

Right after the sun set... this funnel-like dark cloud formed over the city's iconic buildings... Was it a cyclone? Except, we don't get cyclones here in Malaysia... or do we...??

Another part of the sky, over the nearest mosque's minaret, glowed molten gold... smouldering...

Meanwhile, molten gold or not, the cyclone-like cloud grew... and got darker... almost taking over the entire sky

Darker... and darker... until the night consumed the 'cyclone', turning it into just a harmless night-time cloud

Thank you very much, Melinda! I thought others might like to see the sequence of sunsets as they develop, as I see them... so I'll probably do this from now on... if/when possible. Glad you enjoy them! :)
