“Tonight, a Mark Rothko sky, bands of dusty pink and purple that are an homage to the great painter,” wrote Mildred Alpern, a frequent contributor to West Side Rag who sent in the above photograph.

Three more readers sent in stunning sunset photos on Monday evening.

Two photographs by Adam Frank.

“I looked out my window from my home office (a/k/a my son’s bedroom) and saw the beginning of this sunset—a thin band of orange was visible below the clouds. By the time I grabbed my phone and opened my window the sky looked like this. Taken at 74th and Riverside.”

Thank you for posting these amazing photos. The photos capture the strength of colors and light on display that night during the setting of the sun. It is wonderful for me to have a chance to see that evening experience through these photos.

Boy, that Mark Rothco (occasionally known as Rothco Markus Yakovlevich Rothkowitz) could really predict a colorful sunset.

I can see the headline now:

“Local Boy Makes Good Predicting Colorful Sunsets”

If only these sunsets didn’t attract the obnoxious loud tourist helicopters form NJ that seem to have swarmed our skies and filled our homes with constant inescapable noise.
