Sunset colors at Myrtle Beach

I’ve enjoyed far more sunrises than sunsets at Myrtle Beach, S.C., but the sunset I experienced there last week was very rewarding. Follow the sequential below as I try to describe things.

As I walked south at the start of the stroll, I watched as the sky colors transformed from a yellow orange (see first photo below) to increasingly more intense orange. A haze or mist also increased as I neared the end of a string of buildings along the beach, behind which the sun was starting to set.

The closer I got to that break in skyscrapers, the thicker the haze and more intense the orange.

Finally I saw the first burst of yellow, and I knew I’d see a sphere in a matter of seconds.












It was a spectacular show, but it wasn’t over yet. The golden sky was transcending to a large cluster of clouds in the northern sky ahead of me on the return trip, and the color in the clouds reflected onto the sheen of the tide lapping the shore in front of me. That’s what you see in the lead-off photo and the remaining pictures below, concluding with a shot of the a new cloud cluster hovering over a different set of buildings.
