As clouds rolled in off Puget Sound this week, a break over Elliott Bay turned into one of those moments Seattle's gray season rarely gives up. The sun dropped low enough to slip beneath the cloud deck, catching the Seattle Great Wheel mid-spin on Pier 57 and throwing a long reflection across the water against the downtown skyline.

Late-autumn sunsets over the bay rarely last long. Clouds move fast this time of year, and a gap that lines up right at dusk is more often missed than caught. Captured from Pier 54, this evening also raised a little debate online over exactly how far north the sun could still sit this late in the year and still throw light at that angle.

It's a small reminder that even in the thick of a soggy November, the waterfront still draws sunset walkers on the chance the sky might open up again.
