Alaska's ever-changing sky

At this time of the year the sun raises and sets very low on the horizon, and for a period of one to two hours there is a little time to take pictures before it gets too dark. The last photos I posted had a sort of grayish sky, but today the same area looked much different. I left the camera's WB to Auto, and that's why you can see a blue cast on the photos. However, at least on my Mac's screen the blue cast does not look too bad.

The temperature was at a balmy 20 degrees, F., and the sun was setting at approximately 45 degrees to the right of the photos, very low in the horizon. As usual, I snapped a few, and then turned around to take pictures of the other side.
