My parents are visiting, so we took them to the Oasis restaurant on Lake Travis, which is famous for its sunsets. Unfortunately, Central Texas is inundated with dust blown from the Sahara Desert all the way across the Atlantic. The sunset was dramatic, but not in the traditional way.
The sky never turned orange, the dust never lit up. The occluded sun simply disappeared behind the ridge and that was it. The dust will likely hang around for a few days, messing up sunsets and triggering allergic reactions.

Look very peaceful.
We were supposed to have some crazy dust sunset last year. I went out to beach and nothing happened. It wasn’t even a decent regular sunset. Oh well.

Well, they were taken from the deck of a very crowded and loud restaurant. I sent these to the local NBC affiliate. They may be shown on the news tonight. We’ll see!

I had no idea about this. I think it’s kind of cooler than a normal one.

It’s cool that you were able to capture a natural phenomenon like this. Might not be as colorful as a normal sunset, but it’s a great contrast.
