It was near a wildfire burning in a wilderness in southern Utah so there was smoke in the atmosphere. Stunning sunset! I had my camera, but I was tired after a long day on the road, and I thought "I'll wait until tomorrow." Bad decision. Next evening there wasn't a cloud in the sky and the smoke blew away too.
