I took this photo on Cocoa Beach in October. It was a warm and humid evening. A heavy rain had fallen an hour earlier. Several large thunderstorms loomed out over the Atlantic Ocean.
Even though the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico, on the other side of the state, the orange light from the sunset has brilliantly illuminated the cirrus cloud anvil in the eastern sky in a display that lasted for nearly an hour. You can see the nearly full moon at the top center of the photo.
There are quiet, peaceful, and beautiful moments in life that we never forget. This evening will be one of those moments for me.
