The Afterglow


An afterglow is a broad high arch of whitish or rosy light appearing in the sky due to very fine particles of dust suspended in the high regions of the atmosphere. An afterglow may appear above the highest clouds in the hour of deepening twilight, or reflected from the high snowfields in mountain regions long after sunset. The particles produce a scattering effect upon the component parts of white light.

Taken in York Lake, Saskatchewan. This might be one of the few shots that I have left for Fall season as it is now beginning to get freezy getting ready for winter.
