I was thinking it was perhaps smoke from the fires, when it blows this way, it turns the sun and sky that same magenta, so much so that you have to turn down the saturation in post or it looks fake.

First attempt at a landscape shot with my M10 and my 21 SEM Hi Steve,
Please do not take this the wrong way. But, I am looking at the color of the sunlight streaming across the the water. The color at least to my eye and experience appears much too red or magenta. I am much more experienced seeing the sunlight in these situations being much more orange in color.
Rich No problem Rich. One of the cool things about this sunset is that was the actual color, the sun was even that color too, but it got blown out and I could not quite capture it. Not a typical sunset at all. A thunderstorm has just past through, and I think that is what produced the unusual colors.
I hadn't thought of smoke from the fires, but I read this morning in The NY Times that smoke from fires out west are affecting NY, so I suppose it certainly is possible. I probably should turn the saturation down, but I hate toning down the vibrant color I actually saw.
