Bangalore Sunset – Fire Clouds in the Sky
In the joy of your heart may you feel the living joy
A very old picture from my archives. It was taken with my Canon PowerShot A540. I remember the evening, when the clouds reached their peak of glory with their bright pink gold colors. I took a couple of shots then stood back to see the scene melt away.
Fire clouds are formed when a column of moist air over a fire becomes intensely hot, it rushes up into the atmosphere where it cools and condenses into droplets. This creates fire clouds called pyrocumulus clouds. Unlike the fluffy white cumulus clouds that also are created by convection, fire clouds are grayish or brown because of the ash, smoke, and particulate matter that get swept into the updraft.
But these clouds are caused merely due to reflection of sun’s light. Know more: Why Moon is Red in Color.
The final moments of the day from my balcony.
If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman,
I shall feel that I have worked with God.

Don’t forget beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies!
