Details:
Ten minutes after the Sun had set below the horizon behind Hospital Hill and Chikanga an almost perfect diagonal cloud shadow, cast by the anvil of a distant cumulonimbus cloud, formed a magnificent triangular pattern in the sky with deep blue in the shaded portion and brilliant sunset colors where uninterrupted rays from the setting sun were still able to reflect from thin veils of cloud (first image). To add to the beauty of the scene, Venus shone brightly in the colored portion of the sky as it changed from orange to magenta, pale violet and then deep blue as the setting sunlight faded (mosaic). The cloud shadow remained visible until light on the horizon had changed from orange to red (last image). The photographs were taken using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 camera in sunset scenery mode.
