yellow and grey, a wierd color higher up showed that peculiar shade of icy blue; a queer contrast to the warm yellow. Above this was ragged yellow cloud. This lasted long and faded slowly, becoming wonderful with each minute. At one time, pale pink streaks came for a few moments, a striking color for that blue; at the last low down was a spot of bright metallic yellow. As the yellow faded, the cold clear blue increased and made all kinds of wonderful combinations with the yellowish grey.(HT)It was 8:15 when the last color was gone.
