At this time of year we can get some amazing sunsets. With the increased dust in the atmosphere the colours are incredibly vivid setting the sky on fire. Any clouds on the horizon and we are in for a treat as the light reflects and intensifies on the cloud formations.
Tonight was one of the best we have had so far this year.
I knew that we were in for something special when about 30 minutes before sunset the clouds started to build on the horizon in interesting patterns and streaks.
As is so often the case the best of the colours were seen after the sun had dipped below the mountains of Wadi Araba on the Israeli side.
The start of the sunset taken at 7:07pm
At it’s most intense and colourful at 7:14pm. (Apart from putting the mountains in the foreground in shadow in this picture the colours of the sky were not altered at all. It really was this vivid and intense tonight).
And as it’s starting to fade, but still beautiful 7:17pm

How glorious – thank you for sharing!
I think that we both have views to die for Joanne! Perhaps one day we will have the opportunity to admire each others view in person. 🙂
How nice would THAT be? I was thinking along much the same lines when I was just reading about your Wild Aniseed, lol! 🙂
Amazing. So beautiful! x
One day you will get to see it yourself! A Jordanian feast out on the balcony watching the sunset how does that sound? xx
Absolutely beautiful! We have just lost our Summer Daylight Saving so it is dark soon after 6 pm!! Boo-hoo!!
I will never grow tired of having this as my view! 🙂
