I was out taking a walk near dusk earlier and hit a neat trick of light – as I crossed a major east-west street the setting sun was hitting the electrical wires at an angle where they were all reflecting at me orangey red as far as I could see looking west. It was so vibrant.
It was mesmerizing. I stopped and gaped. It lasted maybe a minute and a half and winked out when the angle went too oblique.
That is a nice sky.

90 seconds of childish awe and wonder.
