Welcome to the collection of images dedicated to the phenomenon of the red sky — a natural phenomenon that has been observed for many centuries in various parts of the planet.

The red sky occurs as a result of the refraction, scattering, and absorption of sunlight in the atmosphere when the sun’s rays pass through a layer of air at a certain angle, especially during sunrise and sunset. This phenomenon appears in various shades ranging from deep scarlet to soft orange and pinkish tones.

Photographs of the red sky often capture wide open spaces such as plains, sea horizons, lakes, and deserts, as well as diverse landscapes including mountains, forests, and cities. Combined with cloud formations, the red sky can display various cloud types — cirrus, cumulus, stratus — which add unique texture and depth to the sky.

The red sky is observed at different times of the year and under various weather conditions, which is related to changes in atmospheric composition, humidity, and the amount of dust or salt particles. In the morning, a red sky often foretells certain weather phenomena, while in the evening it can signal changes in atmospheric processes.

Photos of this phenomenon often include natural and anthropogenic elements — trees, buildings, water surfaces, and reflections — which add additional context and scale to the shots. Images of the red sky are excellent for studying atmospheric conditions, natural phenomena, and the interaction of light with the environment.
