Looking at all the pictures one thing I noticed is the low hanging clouds which I assume were due to the massive humidity levels. All the varying cloud heights and extra moisture in the air really combined to make it a spectacular sunset.

The overall subtlety of this photograph, however, is what gives it its beauty.

"Red skies at night, sailor's delight.
Red sky at morn, sailors be warned!"

My grandma explained it to me as a very red and vivid sunset as the aftermath of a storm, and a prediction of pleasant weather for the next day.

On the other hand, vivid red sunrises were a warning of rain or worse to come for the day.
