The sky was looking weird last night and we decided at the last minute to check out the sunset. Wow and I glad we did.
Hikshari’ Trailhead, Eureka, California 8-14-23.
The sun was already dropping behind the marine layer when we arrived, but looking back east, there was a stunning rainbow, wreathed in fiery red clouds (possibly smoke from the fires in Maui?)


At times, we could see the full arc of the rainbow 😍

Those clouds almost look like a dragon with a rainbow for a spine 😲
The sky to the west was rather stunning as well

There was also a hint of a double bow at times.


I’m not sure what caused these patches of light in clouds… very striking!


The western sky also continued to evolve 🤩


A few more of the rainbow, before it dissipated. Again, I have no explanation for the light…


Then the western sky took over the show






And then it started raining 🤣
Wow, what a night, I’ve never seen anything like this before 🤩
