My friend Orazio and I had just arrived at the Biviere di Cesarò Lake in the Nebrodi Mountains of Italy, when just as the Sun set the sky began to take on magnificent coloring, which could also be seen reflecting off the water’s surface. The passage of time shown here is a little over an hour. At center is the Etna volcano. The camera is facing east.
At left, the last glorious rays of sunlight lick the clouds, tinging them with orange. At left center, pink hues from the afterglow of remaining daylight color the sky and water. At right center and at far right, as the Earth’s rising shadow begins to project itself on the horizon, the sky appears more and more blue. Photo taken on July 5, 2021.
