After a scorcher of a day, nearing 100 F, an enormous cloud settled over the town of Ellensburg in the heart of this hot and windy valley. It turned the late day sunlight into something out of a science fiction novel. The photos I took from the little wooden park bench in front of my apartment building are this week’s Project Create. They speak for themselves.

Cloud rolls in.

Reflecting the setting mid-summer sun.

Last glimpse of light.

Darkness descends.
