Champlain Valley Sunsets Are Awesome This Time Of Year

This time of year, sunsets in Vermont's Champlain Valley can be awesome.

In the late fall and early winter, the sky is often cloudy, but a sliver of clear skies forms over the lake, or near the western horizon close to the Adirondack Mountains in New York.

The result is that the setting sun will blast the clouds with a last shot of intense light before disappearing.

And you get what you see in these photos that I took Wednesday evening in St. Albans, Vermont.
