The week before last as we driving through Interstate 580 (I-580) near Altamont (California), we saw this amazing sight — a glow in the late evening sky.

It was almost 8 pm and still nice and bright outside. I love summer evenings when the days are long. But what stood out that day was the radiant patch in the clouds, thanks to the sun lending a glow to the fluff in sky. The fact that some of the clouds were blue made the scene even more picturesque.

By the way, this part of the California is known for its wind and its windmills.

    1. This route is pretty dry toward this side — with some really dry rolling hills. A sky like this here on this part of 580 is a treat, really.The windmills are what generally stand out here.
      Thanks, Nomad. 🙂

    1. The power lines are so much a part of the landscape here. This part is known for it windmills.

      Thank you, Monica. Because of you, I have the opportunity to put up these light-images.

    1. Thank you so much, Mridula.
      Yes they are getting better and better, thankfully. But I have a long way to go as far as phone photography is concerned. I love your phone photos (as well as your SLR pics) 🙂

    1. The glow was really interesting, Kokila. I wish you could have seen the whole sky and how that patch looked in the middle of that vastness. It was gorgeous!

      Thank you, my girl. 🙂
