Can you tell where we are?


No, it's not a view of a forest fire.

Here's another view, taken a few minutes earlier, also looking West,
 with a little rain on the Southern mountains.
And, no, they have not been photoshopped.

Can you guess where we are?
Here is a clue: it's name says it all.

Colorado!
Yes, it's the view out our window in Forbes Park, in Southern Colorado, 
looking form the Sangre De Cristo Mts. near La Veta Pass,
westwards towards Ft Garland and the San Luis Valley beyond that.

And, in case you forgot, in Spanish "colorado" means reddish.

About 1 to 1 1/2 weeks ago it showed like this sometime between 8-8:30PM every night.
Now, it's like this every night sometime between 7:30 and 8 PM.

We wait for it to get so red (even if it's just for a few minutes) before night begins.

Not a bad dinner time show, is it?
