Yesterday dawned sunny, crisp, and breathtakingly clear – until about Noon. Then, the clouds decided to huddle and the sun became just a round brightness behind layers of a silvery gray canopy – until about 4 p.m. That’s when, from our perspective, the sun escaped under the clouded canopy to set in the west. For a very few moments, we felt as if we were standing in one of the dark areas of a J.M.W. Turner nightscape.
