Life Sunnyside Up--sunset to celestial--actually, an inverted sunset.

There was an ash event creating colorful sunsets--I believe it was the Tonga volcanic eruption, if my memory serves me right. A co-worker captured the sunrise and shared it at work. I did see it, but was running late and unable to capture the morning sky. Come sunset that very day, the sunset was just as glorious! As a part of my sunset to celestial collection, I rotated the sunset image--thus, Life Sunnyside Up.
