Zimbabwe sunset from Chile volcanic eruption - time-lapse vid

EarthSky

Zimbabwe continues to have vivid sunsets caused by aerosols from the 22 April eruption of Calbuco volcano. This evening’s display included dynamic kaleidoscopic patterns of color from shifting crepuscular rays and moving reflections of sunlight from both diffuse static patches of aerosols high in the sky and a thin broken layer of low atmospheric cloud moving in from the west.

The most spectacular portion was captured in a time-lapse sequence of 28 photographs taken at about 20-second intervals, which have been combined to produce the accompanying animated gif.

The camera used was a tripod mounted Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ 60 in sunset auto mode with wide angle lens.

Dario Almonacid posted the following video of Calbuco volcano to YouTube on the day of the eruption.
