Circumhorizontal Arc Over California Sunset Sky
by Sharon Gray
A brilliant, horizontal band of cyan light stretches across the azure expanse, hovering just below the sun as it dips toward the western horizon. The arc glows with intense saturation against the deepening blue, creating a sharp geometric contrast. Below, the California landscape unfolds in a tapestry of golden grasses and scattered oak trees, their leaves turning brittle and brown in the early winter chill. The low-angle orange sunlight bathes the terrain in warm, directional rays, casting long, soft shadows that stretch eastward across the rolling hills. Wispy cirrus clouds remain sparse, allowing the rare ice crystal phenomenon to stand out as a precise, luminous ribbon. The perspective looks down from above, showing the vast separation between the sky's optical event and the quiet, dry earth below.
