A Divided Sky

Sorry.  I got behind.  He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is ruining my life. I'm running around taking pictures of protests instead of National Parks at sunrise.

Anyway, one of the oddest skies I remember seeing.  The orange side was a lot "hotter" (and full of contrails) than the red side.  And it didn't really work until I thought to turn the graduated neutral density filter sideways — with the dark part knocking down the light on the right (orange) side.)  I've never done that before.  A divided country.  A divided sky.
