I take a lot of sunset photos and I took this picture the evening on September 10, 2001 which had a couple of airplane contrails in the sky. When I took the photo, I didn’t know that the skies would be empty of planes for a couple of days following the 9/11 attacks.

Although the longest daylight of the year was Sunday with the start of summer, the latest sunset in my area was tonight. But the sun was later in rising so even though the latest sunset, the day was already a minute and two seconds shorter since the start of summer.

This afternoon I was getting alerts about lightning strikes near my house and could hear some thunder once in a while, but the actual thunderstorm cells just skirted by. By evening the clouds, both in the east and west, had hints of pink in them.
