July 17: rooftop twilight
The evening after final review offered up a feast of gorgeous cloud colors, as if in celebration.
0518
You can see the shadows of other clouds on these clouds.
0521
Diffuse pink glow above the antennas.
0522
A mauve cloudbeast.
0523
Another look at the substructure of the roof.
0524
A quick peek across the terrace next to ours.
0525
A rather fetching composition of dissolving cloud fragments.
0528
Pink sun on higher clouds over the church spire. I also like the mix of red and green on the spire's roof tiles, which I'd forgotten about or maybe not noticed before.
0532
A procession of gray cloudbeasts.
0535
Diffusing wisps to the north.
0536
Just a little bit of pink left over the antennas.
0539
Our very own antenna over the stairwell roof.
0545
Clouds seemingly growing diagonally without bound.
0553
Light gray, dark gray.
0554
To the northwest, with Tibidabo and the Collserola tower on the horizon, cirrostratus turned a ruddy brown.
0559
Huh, the antennas are pointed toward the tower. Hmm.
0562
Dancing cloud.
0563
Behind the Palau Nacional you can see the Olympic stadium tower, almost blending in with the sky colors.
0570
The eastern clouds seem to have re-pinkened latterly, somehow.
0585
Rorschach clouds.
0587
The northwestern cirrostratus then developed striking maroons and purples, in combination with the open sky.
0589
A cool-to-warm spectrum beyond the antennas.
0592
Now the clouds were pink from the red western sky rather than from the direct sun.
0598
All sorts of yellows, greens and purples can be found in this sky on careful inspection.
0613
The sunsetward color stayed vivid as it deepened.
0620
Montjuïc lighting up as the twilight fades.
0629
As dusk approached, the Palau's rays came into view.
0631
Still some color variety remaining to the northwest, in an unusual-looking red-gray-blue progression.
