As you may know - Chuck the Camera-Drone and I "fly the sunset" just about every night that we're able. Not all nights is this possible due to weather. Chuck isn't waterproof so flying in the rain or fog is not a good idea (even if some people are posting videos that do just that).
Below are some of the hundreds of photos we've taken recently.. I'll post the date below each picture. All pictures were taken in Gold Canyon Arizona in our "back yard" of the Arizonian RV Resort.
When the colors show up in various frames, but individually are just not representative of the sky, I will do a stitched panorama. Sometimes 180 degrees or 360 degrees. Blogger just shows these photos as a very condensed and W-I-D-E photo. Facebook will allow you to use your mouse or tilt/move your tablet to change your point of view.

3/12/2019 - Rainy day and windy - Not a great day for much of anything, but we had a gap in the rain and I thought I could get Chuck out there to take some pictures of the clouds.. I flew him toward the Superstition mountain and suddenly, my screen started to not look very good. RAIN! Chuck is not waterproof, so I high-tailed it back to my launch point and landed. Chuck spent the rest of the night recuperating on a towel. He checked out fine the next day.
