Description
Maybe the picture doesn't reflect the real reddish color that I've encountered. Well, it's not for the first time, but this strange effect I've seen only in Texas, and of course it comes from the reddish sunset, but the main condition to get such an effect is that there must be clouds above you, so the red reflection will give ya the feeling that you're on a sci-fi scene, somewhere on another planet... I must notice that the picture is untouched (no manipulations).
Thanks for stopping by!
Today's joke:
At the end of the tax year, the IRS office sent an inspector to audit the books of a local hospital.
While the IRS agent was checking the books he turned to the CFO of the hospital and said, "I notice you buy a lot of bandages. What do you do with the end of the roll when there's too little left to be of any use?"
"Good question," noted the CFO. "We save them up and send them back to the bandage company and every now and then they send us a free box of bandages."
"Oh," replied the auditor, somewhat disappointed that his unusual question had a practical answer. But on he went, in his obnoxious way.
"What about all these plaster purchases? What do you do with what's left over after setting a cast on a patient?"
"Ah, yes," replied the CFO, realizing that the inspector was trying to trap him with an unanswerable question. "We save it and send it back to the manufacturer, and every now and then they send us a free package of plaster."
"I see," replied the auditor, thinking hard about how he could fluster the know-it-all CFO. "Well," he went on, "What do you do with all the leftover foreskins from the circumcisions you perform?"
"Here, too, we do not waste," answered the CFO. "What we do is save all the little foreskins and send them to the IRS Office, and about once a year they send us a complete d*ck."

hahahahhaha eddie love your joke..wow! this is really beautiful sky and u did AWESOME capture...
Some very distinctive coloring for sure.....
I guessed Texas before reading your notes. Could red dust also contribute to the effect? Nicely done.
We get this sort of sight in northern California, however, only during wildfire season when the world around our valley is on fire and the ask and fire fill the sky. As you say, this is a sight more common to Texas and one I can only guess if from the beauty of the land reflected in the setting sun... Awesome.
A wonderful shot!!
