Defeating the night, the sun writes a victory sign in the sky
clouds building castles in the sky with rising thunderheads
slowly slipping into sleep, she still displays her glory
to make way for the rising moon and friendly twinkling star.
The star is visible when enlarged.

Arija,
ReplyDeleteyou have a way with skies and words,
they form one great poem, each and every time, with the clouds playing the harp.
I am sure you know Strauss' "Sphärenklänge" - that's the music fit for your sky images.
I heard it played at the Konzertverein by the Vienna Philharmonics, under Daniel Barenboim, for the New Year's Concert this year, during the dress rehearsal.
Amazing collection of shots! Sky on fire, awesome swelling cumulus... wonderful. Truly a delight!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, especially the first one which just fizzes with colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection of photos for Sky Watch Friday, the colours are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLiked your post of the local birds as well.
Have a great weekend!
