This photograph was taken on August 25, 2025 while I was still in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain. Facing West towards the Atlantic Ocean during sunset. The warm orange tones illuminate smooth layers of altocumulus and stratocumulus clouds, shaped by the characteristic trade-wind inversion which gives name to the island itself.

The corresponding Skew-T diagram from Tenerife-Guimar at 12 UTC 26 Aug 2025 shows a strong inversion near 850 hPa, a moist boundary layer, and a second partially humid layer around 600 hPa, these conditions perfectly explain the layered, stable cloud structure seen in the image. The dry upper air allowed vivid sunset colors to form as light scattered through the subtropical haze typical of late summer evenings in Canary Islands.
