Thus Ends the Storm

(Toledo, OH) I stepped outside with the intention of snapping a quick image of the snowfall from the major winter storm that blasted through Northwest Ohio, but I was stunned to see the beauty of the sunset this evening.

Knowing how quickly these colors can change, I went inside and grabbed my tripod. In the ensuing two minutes, the sky colors already began to fade, but I still caught enough of the panoramic explosion of color to make the extra work worthwhile.

And three minutes in the cold without a coat, hat, or gloves reminded me just how rapidly the human body can lose its heat.
