Image Details:

Poolside reflections of volcanic sunset. This composite of two pictures of a volcanic sunset reflected in my swimming pool were taken 8 minutes apart about three quarters of an hour after sunset as another spectacular twilight arch produced by stratospheric aerosols approached peak intensity and started to fade. Volcanic sunsets and sunrises, due to now fairly evenly distributed stratospheric aerosols from the January eruption of Hunga-Tonga, are continuing unabated at sub-tropical latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere and are likely to persist for several more months.
