The Inferno, Bay Area version
April 21, 2009
After supper, it was still 90°. But it looked as if we were going to have pink clouds at sunset. I’m never ready for these things. Tried to leap out of my chair, but stuck to it again, thanks to the temps and suddenly, it seemed, high humidity. No time for a tripod, the mosquitoes would have cheered had that been a possibility. I brushed a few off my arm, and took some quick shots at high speed with the lens that’s really not meant for this.
Of course it was dark. But for a few seconds, the western sky looked like the cover of my copy of Dante, minus a couple of small details.
