High Plains Sunset

We've just completed a short trip to our family home on the High Plains. It was partially a working trip, but we were able to spend mornings and evenings out with the camera.

Most of the evenings were nondescript because of heat-generated thunderstorms that clouded the western horizon. But Saturday evening the clouds formed later and further southwest.

This is about 60 minutes prior to scheduled sundown. The far bank of cloud made for a higher horizon and allowed for the warm light to paint the underside of the nearer clouds.
