Fall officially began this past weekend with the fall equinox. Besides the approximate 12 hours of daytime, the sun sets nearly due west for most every point on earth. The featured image is from the Indianola webcam auto tracking the sunset on Sunday. A due west sunset would be 270 degrees of azimuth (Az). This time of year is dangerous for drivers as the sun at sunset and sunrise will be directly in line of sight for east-west roads.
