I went chasing after the sunset this past Friday so that I could get good snapshots for Sunset Sunday which will be next Sunday.
I pulled into a church parking lot to figure out where the next best place would be to go get a good shot without trees and power lines in the foreground. When I turned around, I saw this sky. The clouds are pink from the sun's glow, but despite their ominous look, we never got a drop of rain . . . again. Our drought has inched up from abnormally dry to moderate drought. Perhaps a stray thunderstorm next week, but the weather forecasters don't hold out much hope from a break from the extreme heat and dry weather.
I am doing this as an ongoing project with Anyes over at Far Away in the Sunshine. Go over and see what she saw in her skies.
A postscript. Blogger has added a location button. When I can, I'll add the location so you can see where I got my snapshot. Most of the time you can also use the Street View function, too. So take a look at my world - I will try to take more pictures in my hometown in the near future.

STUNNING indeed. Wow! You know how to find and capture a gorgeous sky. You deserve a standing ovation for this one. Maybe some devine intervention? ;-)
That is just breathtaking!!!!!
Carolina is onto something...Divine intervention? Breathtaking skies as always Karen. Have an awesome Sunday :-)

awesome shot! Wish we could share our rain with you.
Carolina: Thank you. Maybe it was divine intervention? I certainly wasn't planning on pulling in the parking lot there.
Jennifer Renee: Thank you. It was probably a once-in-a-year snapshot.
Anyes: Well, something/someone guided me to that particular parking lot.
Dan: Love those Cumulonimbus clouds. I would love them even more if they would rain on us instead of around us.
Norma: Glad to have you back! Yes, send your rain down south please.
