Ridiculously Intense Sunset

The bureau chief does not use any sort of photo manipulation with the exception of occasionally straightening the plane of a picture. Basically I snap the picture with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5 and the result comes from the interaction of the light and the digital sensor. I make this preamble because the following shots, taken on the evening of September 1st, are rather otherworldly.

The reflection in the bureau's windows.

More.

And one more.
