Sunset moment

Last night here in Seattle was a spectacular summer evening, complete with a glorious sunset. Several of my Facebook friends posted pictures, taken at slightly different times and from different vantage points. It was an interesting impromptu and unorganized study. This panorama was our contribution, taken from Port Madison, later in the twilight. (As always, you can click on pictures to see the full-sized versions.)

And in keeping with the astronomical nature of this post, several sources are telling me that we could have an auroral display that reaches into the middle tier of states on the nights of the 14th and 15th. Might be a good time to stay up late...
