Sunset over Gordonsville last night
Caught this from the ridge on my walk. Had to share — one of those skies that makes you stop.

Gordonsville is a town in Orange County in the Commonwealth of Virginia, United States. Located approximately 19 miles northeast of Charlottesville and 65 miles northwest of Richmond, the population was 1,402 at the 2020 census. The town celebrated its bicentennial in 2013, two hundred years after local innkeeper Nathaniel Gordon was appointed the area's first postmaster, thus officially creating the area known as Gordonsville. It was strategically important during the Civil War, due to its location on the Virginia Central Railroad. Gordonsville claims to have influenced the popularity of fried chicken in the United States; it bills itself as the "Fried Chicken Capital of the World."
