SLIDESHOW: A sunset for photographers in West Seattle

05/25/2012

On Friday May 25, photographers David Rosen, Patrick Robinson and Kimberly Robinson headed out to capture the sunset as seen from West Seattle. The weather had been sunny most of the day but as the day drew to a close things began to change dramatically.

A thunderstorm passed over the southern section of the peninsula and over the Olympic Mountains, as the sun began to move toward the horizon, the color shifted and the rain could be seen falling in wide purple curtains against an orange sky.

Many people witnessed the spectacular display, some stopping to take cell phone photos, others hurrying to the beach with their camera and tripod.

The Herald photographers spent 2 hours recording nature's colorful display and this slideshow is the result.
