Muted colours in the eastern sky, as the sun sets in the west today... #Kingston #Jamaica
A picture of clouds over a hill in the eastern sky in the evening, at sunset. At the bottom of the picture, the canopies of trees can be seen. Above them, the dark grey outline of a hill. Above that, a pale pink cloud and above that a watery blue sky, with pale bluish-grey clouds. To the right of the picture, there are four fronds of a traveler's palm tree. The colours are generally pale and muted.
