today was orange and it was orange hot out, having dropped to a high of 91. the thunderstorms have blown in to chase away the heat, but as i was driving westward home from the grocer a bit ago i was treated to an unlikely bright orange disk just on the horizon despite the fact that the rest of the sky was black and grey with lines of blue-edged white. i wanted to take a photo but once i reached a stoplight the horizon could no longer be seen, just a fraction of a ray. so what you have here is a photo of what can't be seen, so isn't worth seeing. though i always like the way light behaves on wet surfaces.
