Finally a decent sunset

I saw the clouds gathering on the horizon this evening and went out over behind Ascension Academy (as I do a lot) to see if the sunset was going to amount to something worth shooting. I was surprised to see some other amateur photogs out there, but at t he last moment a bank of clouds moved over the sun and it looked like it was going to be another dud.

However, I know from experience to just wait a bit and I was quite pleased to see the sun and clouds finally come together and give us another classic West Texas sunset.

Then I noticed the others who had come out to photograph the sunset had given up and left - before the real show had even begun. If they had just stayed around 15 minutes they would have seen this:
