Heavenly Shades Of Night Are Falling...

Waiting for the "blue moon" to rise in the east on this evening--August 20, 2013--had its fringe benefits. The sunset in the opposite side of the sky was brilliant and beautiful. These views look northwest from the grounds at Echo Hill Presbyterian Church in Marion, Iowa. The top image was captured at 7:36 PM, the bottom at 8:14 PM. Official sunset was at 7:59 PM CDT.
