Yesterday (October 6th) we had yellow colored clouds with green sky in
some
breaks in the clouds as the sun was setting. Then the clouds in the
entire
sky turned to the salmon color as the sun set lower. Then some of the
salmon
turned to deep purple. It was beautiful and at the same time illustrated
well the countertwilight and how it can occur all across the sky, even
high
overhead on the underside of the clouds under the right conditions.
