I am out the door heading to bus barn just before sunrise and noticed the sliver moon and planets. Very beautiful.
Today's sun set/rise around the world

A little lost in my screen dust.
How about a painting, @thistlebloom ?
Here is what it should look like tomorrow morning. I think that there isn't much chance for me to see it - a hurricane is coming!

As the sun set this evening, the sky burst into flame, and quickly burned itself out.

Nicely captured, 'Red!
The clouds only showed up here with the afternoon winds! I was out at 4am and looking off to the east. "Okay, there are the planets, where's the moon?? Oh there it is!"
It took me a few seconds to realize that I was looking at a burned out street light, down the road. Shoot. The moon was closer to the sun and up nicely by 5:30.
Street lights ... The nearest one is across from the neighbor with the motion detection light on his front porch! Car drives by under that light ... his light comes on. In fact, I think it may see me when I walk down my driveway - dang thing always seems to be on when I'm out there.
Winds and tree movement have kept the light on the next door neighbor's garage, since sundown. Turn around on the driveway and walk into my backyard, that thing blinds me! In fact it's shining in my kitchen window right now.
I can't see the eastern sky from the backyard well because of trees. Try to see the eastern horizon and I'm blinded by the neighbor's carport light, 2 doors down. It's on 24 hours a day.
Combined with light reflected back from the sky and blinded by nearby electric lights, I'm lucky to be able to see anything, out at night

I was up to see the sun rise this morning. After last night's showy display, the sunrise was disappointing. One moment I was looking at the thin trace of moon, then it disappeared into the morning light as the cloudless sky gradually lightened without fanfare.

Sunset on my sister's farm, 10/6/2015.
