My brother once told me

“The real waiters are not the ones found in restaurants; they’re the ones found behind a camera.” This I have found —again and again— to be very true.
Yesterday, on my daily evening walk, I got very excited when I saw the clouds and what looked like a very promising sunset:

So I climbed up the pyramid to see the sunset over the volcanoes:

...and then I waited… and waited... and 20 minutes had passed, and it seemed that the only exciting colors had already passed and were fainting in the lower left corner:

“¡Glorious clouds, what a waste!”, I thought. I was disappointed.
I was about to climb down after another 6-7 minutes, when a faint pink began to color the clouds. “Hmmm, will it get brighter, or is this it?”

“I might as well wait a little longer…”

::no words::

...and I stayed until it faded away…
