The word means pertaining to evening or dusk. Thought it would be a great sunset, but by the time the sun did finally set, the clouds had dissipated, so they really were the prettiest earlier on.

What an awesome capture, Kathy! I saw something similar to this last evening here in Austin, but I didn't have my camera... But I'm glad you had yours and that you posted. :)

Know what you mean about the sunsets. You think they will be special from their earlier clouds and as sunset approaches, they all blow away!! What's one to do? We shoot when-ever, don't we. and get some keepers!! Congratts on a great scenic capture and 10 from SW Iowa

Thank you, Mike and Maxine! You seem to have more colorful sunsets than I do, Max, but you're right, all we can do is work with what we're given. Someone once asked me about my photographic technique. My 'technique' is to shoot a whole lotta pictures with various camera settings and hope a few will turn out well!
