Holy cow, today's sunset was amazing. So pissed I missed it (I didn't notice until I had just gotten onto H-1, and I wasn't mentally prepared to pull over somewhere to shoot it). Let me try to describe it.
First of all the sky was completely clear of low-altitude clouds (the puffy, cotton ball ones), except where the sun was setting. The western sky was full of wispy, high-altitude clouds. It was like someone took a wide brush and painted sweeping strokes across the sky. Add to that smokey yellows, oranges, and reds; and this is what it reminded me of:

I had my DSLR in the trunk of my car, along with a tripod, but I had no clue where I could go to get a good, unobstructed shot within 5 minutes (I knew the light wouldn't last for long). Mentally unprepared, I gave up.
I need to scout out spots within Honolulu, especially near H-1, where I can take a shot if a beautiful sunset presents itself. Live and learn. /sigh
