I wanted to capture usually very colorful sky at the sunset. Also, I wanted to do it during the shortest day. Here I was just one day too early because the weather forecast for the next day was no good for my flying.

I could see low level clouds all around except very large hole of blue sky over the Brock and North Shore. As soon as I cleared the low level clouds I could see high layer of clouds and only a sliver of sun going down. I stayed up to my legal limit for flying, 30 min past sunset. It was really very dark, much darker than the video is showing. GoPro cameras struggled with video stabilization in that dark afternoon and I had to cut that footage out. It was still very relaxing flight with video to prove it.
