This is more like a Wordy Wednesday for me! I can't see a red sky without thinking of my grandma. She had a saying - Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning. Here's an explanation of that from the Library of Congress:
Red sky at night, sailors delight.
When we see a red sky at night, this means that the setting sun is sending its light through a high concentration of dust particles. This usually indicates high pressure and stable air coming in from the west. Basically good weather will follow.
Red sky in morning, sailors take warning.
A red sunrise reflects the dust particles of a system that has just passed from the west. This indicates that a storm system may be moving to the east. If the morning sky is a deep fiery red, it means a high water content in the atmosphere. So, rain is on its way.

DeeDee a great title for a great photo! It's been many years since I've thought of the saying, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in morning, sailors take warning."
DeeDee, this is a beautiful sunset. It is anyone's delight! Great shot.
Wow! It's like a layered cake lol.
Oh, wow. This is an incredible shot. You must be in for great weather tomorrow (based on your quote). Well done.
