Tag: Belt of Venus

What a gorgeous morning! It was cloudy when I was out with the dog this morning, so I didn’t think the sky would be very interesting when the sun came up, but I was wrong.

I like to take sunrise photos from the break room. No one is in there early in the morning, so I can turn off the lights. But the western view isn’t as good. The building and trees block most of the sky. No construction cranes visible from this window, either.

This was the view to the west this morning, just before the sun rose. A thin band of clouds intensified the pink of the Belt of Venus.

This was yesterday morning, from the colonnade in front of the library. Every morning I take a moment to enjoy the patch of sky framed between the building and the columns.

There were clouds along the western sky this morning, and the tops of them reflected the tail end of the sunrise while the Belt of Venus glowed the cloud cover. The combination produced a pink glow that was much more intense than you’d see from just the Belt of Venus itself.
