Day 210

Day 210 of 365

For weather geeks:
Funny how much weather can affect your photography. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to shoot before I went out, but I knew I wanted clouds. These cumulus had been around all afternoon, and I was hoping they would stick around for sunset. Went to noaa.gov to read Omaha's AFD (area forecast discussion) to see if there was a chance of storms in the near future. Unfortunately, there wasn't. However, the AFD did mention that today's clouds would dissipate as diurnal heating disappeared. Basically, it was telling me "There aren't going to be any cumulus at sunset, so go out now!" Shot this scene over the train tracks by the park just before the last of the clouds disappeared. And sure enough, before the sun hit the horizon and the heating of the day was gone, the sky was completely empty. </ramble>

For everyone else: A pretty sunset over the train tracks!
