Beautiful puzzle of a beautiful sunset. Arizona often has great sunsets. Probably because Vegas and Phoenix are the two sunniest cities in the US so have more sunny days for sunsets.

Lovely!

I've heard that increased pollution makes for prettier sunsets, because of the particulates in the air.

That's what I had heard so looked it up:
Do dust and air pollution make sunsets more dramatic?

No, you often hear that, but—assuming you mean typical pollution in the lower atmosphere—it's a myth. It's actually the opposite: Large particles in the lower atmosphere tend to mute and muddy the colors because they absorb more light and scatter all the wavelengths more or less equally, so you don't get that dramatic filtering effect. In areas with a lot of haze, you don't typically see the types of sunsets that are likely to appear on a wall calendar—or in, say, National Geographic.

Very pretty Al!

Thanks, Norma! That's comforting. :)

great blots and pic aldege :)

The blots make it so interesting to solve. It was fun to watch the image appear.

Thx gang. I know I've made sunset puzzles before but whenever I see a dramatically beautiful one,I get inspired to make another puzzle. :)

Love the puzzle! Both because of it's subject and the solve!

Fun all the way 'round!

Thx Lisa and JoDeen. :)

I never comment here, but did you mean Awana Sparks? I'm the Sparks director at my son's church, & the Cubbies director at my church, although we weren't able to have Awana this year.

Very pretty. Did not recognized what it was right away, but I loved the overall effect.

Glad this came back in 2023 for me to see it.
