It was a cold damp day along the coast. The sun had played hide-and-seek throughout the day, light beams raining on the seaside. But the weather had been so tumultuous on this rocky bit of the California shore that I had half expected another grey winter sunset. It was going to be a moody yet beautiful evening.

Light had all but gone, and I was ready to pack up and leave, but the clouds beckoned to me. It showed a tinge of color on its fringes, a bat-signal to landscape photographers. And as I waited, more of its friends joined in the fray, until the whole sky was a dance of light and color. The graceful pink above, and the stormy blues below, made for a delightful twilight.
