SkyWatch ~ The Wonders of one Sunset

The sun thinking about setting still shines brightly.
All photos like being enlarged.


As it sets, the scene changes dramatically, darkness grows
overhead while wonderful colours develop below.
Gold touches the ground as the sun sinks lower.















Even the black clouds are getting some colour back.









With the sun now gone, the afterglow fades the glory into
some gentle restful tones, a twilight zone between the rigours
of the day and the dark restful night.

Thanks to Klaus and the SkyWatch team, we can all join in
with this great fun meme.

  7. It's so amazing how the twilight zone gifts us with this show of light and colors. The first image is so soft looking in contrast to the dramatic colors that follow. Great series Arija. Applaud the sky.

    I'm still telling people about your mystery and murder story. Hope you haven't any any new intruders.
