Sunset in Fukui

Shibuya246 · 22 October 2010 · 6 photos

The sky suddenly lit up.

At the end of a long day around Fukui on my Hokuriku trip, after the Tojinbo cliffs, the sky lit up just as the sun went down.

These were all taken in about five minutes, from the first burst of colour to the last of the light.

A wide sky of blue and orange over flat fields and houses — Looking across the wider sky.

A long band of red cloud above a dark row of houses and trees — A long streak of red over the houses.

Red and orange cloud with darker cloud shapes above silhouetted trees — Strange cloud shapes against the red.

A deep blue sky with the last pink of the sunset — The colour starting to fade to blue.

An electricity pylon silhouetted against a blue and yellow evening sky — The last of the light behind the pylons.

It was over almost as quickly as it started, but it was a good way to finish the trip.

I took these photos in October 2010 and only got round to posting them in 2026.
