@godi It almost looks photoshopped. Of course I know it isn't.

You have some magnificent views from your home. Thanks.

@wagirl That is actually the sun setting. I was just going out on my deck and was floored at it. I had to share. @luvzchiz Our home is the highest point in our town. It can get crazy during storms but the view is amazing. Here is a pic of the sunrise this morning

@godi Do you have haze or smoke in the air from fires? That often causes that red glow and makes for some beautiful sunsets.

@godi ---was just kidding!! Our sunsets, here in western WA are just as amazing, mostly because we have fires burning in every direction, including Siberia! Makes for incredible sunrises and sunsets-----thanks goodness the winds are blowing all that smoke high into the air so we aren't in a smog like last year.

That is amazing! Just curious if it rained for you later that night. If all else was a normal day and you got a sunset where the sun was such a deep red it doesn't even hurt to look at it, I've found it usually rains before morning.

@Kachina624 Yes we do have some haze from wildfires here in western Pennsylvania. I never knew that would make the sunrises and sunsets red!

@godi It's the sun reflecting off of particles in the air. We have unusually beautiful sunsets in the Southwest because we have so much dust in the air and those particles reflect the sun.

We also had the red sunset and sunrise here in NYC because of the Oregon Bootleg Fire. They talked about it in the news. Really frightening how fragile our system is.
