I am just now watching a beautiful winter sky…its about 20 minutes to sundown, and the clouds are a beautiful orange-yellow tint. It strikes me that the skies of winter are more colorful than of summer-maybe because the sun is at such a low angle? Is there a big difference in the colors and tone of the winter skies?
