The remarkable colors of this sunset (photo not retouched in any way) are probably a result of the wildfires burning out in the Pacific Northwest and western Canada this summer, and the east-west flow of particulate matter. I first noticed this effect in 1991, weeks after Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines, when the sunset sky here in the Northeast turned a soft, otherworldly purple for some time.
