The Aerial Horizon

Storms Dissipate over the Everglades at Sunset

In a sky that has largely receded into darkness, the bright orange sherbet glow of the illuminated showers guides us beacon-like around the wall of storms to the North. As the storms dissipate over South Florida, their tops loom heavy and dark, framing the sunset as it penetrates showers over the Everglades. In contrast to the rest of the sky, the water vapor in this frame is so colorful and luminous that it seems to have been created in a different medium. Turning away from the sunset as we make our way North, the light rapidly disappears with only hints of the sunset’s glow seeping through the heavy weather.
