West Sacramento Sunset

I was working outdoors in West Sacramento on Wednesday evening when the clouds started showing weird patterns and it was threatening to rain. The rain eventually came, but only a minute or two at a time. Then it would stop. There were thick thunderclouds all over the place, but a lot of the sky was still clear, allowing light to go through.

As I started to drive home, it got crazy, so I took the scenic route and busted out my camera. It was dark from the heavy clouds and bright from the sunset simultaneously. All the color was so saturated that it was almost difficult to see.

Point being, this sunset was awesome, check it out.
