At first glance, it just seems like a regular sunset view over the Puget Sound by Seattle in the Pacific northwest. But observe closely and you can spot the telltale signs of high altitude winds from the layers of undulating cloud patterns in the sky. These high altitude cloud patterns are the result of layers of wind blowing over mountain ranges that dot the western coast of Washington state. And these layers will often catch the colorful sunset light, adding to extra drama in the image.
A Washington State Ferry departing to Bainbridge island from Seattle adds to the visual interest in this scene overlooking the sound.
Here is to a closure on 2024, a tumultuous year for many in this world.
