Another page of sunsets near the extended-stay hotel I frequented in Jacksonville, Florida.

Interesting cloud formation the evening of July 20, 2015
[At the very top of the image is blue sky and some grey-blue clouds. Below that is a bank of clouds which extend behind the trees in the distance. At the tree level are bright orange-pink clouds with a few bright orange blobs that must be a different type of cloud. The rest of the cloud bank is dark blue with some pink strips. The street lights are on and visible in the image.]

I managed to capture some of the sky color reflected in the pond on September 8, 2015.
[The trees surrounding the pond are dark. Across the entire sky is a swath of orange clouds adjoining a swath of purple. Above the purple and below the orange the sky is light blue (lighter at the bottom than the top). At the edge of the pond there are some spots of orange around the edges of the tree reflections. There are two ducks swimming on the water.]

The next evening also produced interesting color in the sky. (September 9, 2015)
[Through the branches of the pine trees above the rest of the treeline are spots of yellow which reflect off the clouds above the trees as well. To the left of those trees is an irregular shape of orange on the underside of some dark blue clouds. The sky is light blue above that with just a few wispy dark clouds.]

A flash of pink in the sky caught my eye and I ran outside with my camera and captured this. (December 12, 2015)
[A swathe of yellow lights the lowest part of the horizon backlighting the outline of palm trees, leafed trees, and some bushes. Above the yellow is orange, pink, and then bluish-pink skies.]

Two images stitched together on January 21, 2016.
[Behind the silhouette of the pine trees and the skinny cell towers are dramatic orange and dark grey clouds. The clouds between the trees are nearly all orange thus silhouetting the trees.]

The trees across the street the evening of June 3, 2014
[Behind the silhouette of the pine trees are dramatic horizonatal swatches of pink/grey against the blue sky. Four utility wires cross the upper half of the image.]

A different view earlier that same evening
[Silhouette of the trees against the orange and blue sky. The clouds are arranged in streaks as if they were strokes of a paintbrush.]

July 20, 2015
[While there is a small blue patch at the top right of the image, the rest of the sky is deep orange with a few light and dark blue sections. The orange hightlights the outlines of the palm trees and their trunks both in the foreground and in the distance.]

The sliver of the moon is visible in the upper left of this image just below the pink swath. (October 16, 2015)
[Over 80% of this image is sky with the rest being the irregular treeline in the distance. The sky is medium blue with a lot of small line-shaped clouds that are light orange-pink.]

Another colorful reflection in the stormwater retention pond (November 9, 2015)
[The sky is completely full of puffy yellow-white clouds which merge into each other. The clouds are a little brighter toward the horizon. The significant light in the sky backlights all the trees highlighting their outlines--leaves, trunks, palm fronds, etc.]

The sun setting behind the clouds appears to be a fire in the distance on July 13, 2016.
[The sky is a sea of yellow-gray except near the horizon where it is bright yellow. The significant light in the sky backlights all the pine trees and light poles in the foreground highlighting their outlines including the individual needles on the trees.]
