D.C.'s final winter sunset before 5 p.m. Wednesday was a winner
https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/01/05/dc-maryland-virginia-sunset-colorful-january/
Washington witnessed the winter’s final sunset before 5 p.m. Wednesday, and it was a sight to see, full of color and texture.
As the sky lit up, so did our social media feeds.
“Early contender for best DC sunset of 2023,” wrote Billy West, sharing a stunning sky shot from the Palisades in Northwest Washington.
While it’s only the first week of the year, and the sunset competition is just underway, Wednesday’s stunner offered many reasons to look up. The sky was filled with orange and purple light, a soft glow and long, bumpy clouds extending for miles.
The extraordinary sunset unfolded after predicted rain and storms didn’t show in most areas, so perhaps the sky felt the need to make up for it. But there were enough raindrops to give eastern parts of the area a nice view of a late-day rainbow. The image below was captured in Annapolis.
