Tonight's sunset: as beautiful as you heard

I kept seeing Twitter and Facebook posts go by marveling at the sunset over Los Angeles on Tuesday. I thought, well OK, sorry I missed it. Luckily, photographer Jonathan Alcorn was up in the tower of City Hall at the right moment to see what people were talking about. He captured one of the most gorgeous LA skyline-at-dusk photos I've seen.

Good week for Alcorn: On Monday he caught a couple of brown pelicans riding the waves with a surfer off El Segundo.
