Thanks

Though I always get the AZ flag mixed up with the North Vietnamese
flag... ;^}

I've got a feeling that there'd be a lot of the "Boat People" that'd be
a tad ticked at you. It was the R.V.N. , Republic of Vietnam (The South)
that had similar Colors to the Arizona State Flag.


We've had some fairly decent volcanic sunsets in the Pacific Northwest
since the big belch of the Kasatochi volcano in the Aleutians early
last August.

That's quite a "Burp" !


Not Pinatubo class like we saw in the early '90s, but still nice.
Looks like you are getting some of the aerosols down your way as well.


Pinatubo was a Pretty Pain! Made for some spectacular Sunsets, but
lowered the contrast and resolution for Astronomy.
I don't know if the "Rays" are due to Volcanic Aerosols. Around here
it's not unusual to have high altitude dust just from the winds and
updrafts.
