Sunsets are an amazing thing to behold, and we can almost always count on seeing something spectacular when we look west to see the setting sun. But have you ever seen a beautiful sunset sky by looking EAST? I captured this beautiful sunset sky when I was at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. The interesting thing is. from where I was standing, I was looking east at the beautiful sky! It was a cloudy and breezy day, but not a rainy type day. Just beautiful clouds rolling by in the breeze. Thanks to the setting sun in the west casting beautiful rays to these clouds in the east, I was able to capture a magnificent sight. I always love pink skies at sunset! The dinosaur in the photo is named Gertie. She is made out of concrete and sits at the edge of pond in the middle of Hollywood Studios. In her "belly" is a popular ice cream stand. In the background you can see an advertisement for the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, a live show that showcases the stunt work that went into the making of all the Indiana Jones movies. And in typical Florida fashion, there are of course palm trees everywhere! Have you ever seen a beautiful sunset sky by looking east instead of west?

Well, technically, it wasn't a sunset I saw looking east, but a beautiful sunset sky. But it had the very same effect as looking at a beautiful sunset.

Yes, the summer season here is also when we see some of the prettiest skies, no matter what direction you are looking in.

I love the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular! It never seems to disappoint, no matter how many times I've seen it.

We see this shade of color quite a bit in Florida, mostly due to our humidity and tropical weather conditions. It doesn't hurt that we're surrounded by ocean on three sides! lol

Gertie is a fan favorite at the theme park. She seems to gain in popularity year after year.

The pink clouds in the east is such a cool thing to catch, i never think to look that way... Gertie the dinosaur with the ice cream stand in her belly is a fun touch, kinda lowkey my favorite part. FWIW that photo came out great.
