Sunset Squall over Grand Portage Bay

















Well, last night sure gave us an awesome sunset!  One of the most incredible I've ever seen over Grand Portage Bay, that's for sure!  It had been really windy all day and mostly sunny, except for some small puffs of clouds throughout the day.  As evening approached, however, the clouds started thickening and began to look more like storm clouds.  It seemed like we were going to get some rain even though none was in the forecast.  Just before sunset the clouds got really dark and started to cover most of the sky.  I actually thought photographing the sunset was going to be a bust.  But, just before the sun dipped below the horizon, the edge of the dark cloud appeared and was quickly advancing from west to east.  The sun popped out into the gap between the horizon and the cloud's edge and lit up all the clouds in spectacular fashion for the next 15 minutes or so.  What a dramatic ending to the day!
