On the way back up to the church, I happened to look back and spotted a matte orange sun on the inky black horizon. David completely lost it and thought it was lava from Mt. Kilimanjaro. Sarah and I raced up to the church and asked Joseph what it was.
It was a huge fire started by people. It must be huge for us to be able to see it from such a distance. It widened, plumped, spread, and undulated, its edges a seeping red like a reverse Shirley Temple. He told us that people started the fire only because they knew rain was comiing - and it seemed to be true. Earlier we noticed the sky becoming darker than usual, the stars and moon shielded from our eyes by huge clouds, spraying lightning to illuminate the cloud edges. Winds had picked up, and the scent of rain was in the air.
