SkyWatch ~ Sunset Fizzle

As the sun was sinking towards the west, it lit up these blankets
of cirro-nimbus clouds that had been a teasing presence all day.

















Looking straight up, it was like looking down on a melting lake
of blue water and a breaking up ice shet.


The sunset colours never eventuated, they seemed too shy
to show thenselves


but at least the afterglow lit up my special hill.


Dear friends, forgive me for not visiting as much as I would like.
I seem to have hit a snag with my struggling heart and the
side effects are causing quite debilitateing pain.
At this time I specially treasure all your comments ... thank you all.
Photos enlarge as always.
Thank you Skywatch team for co-ordinating this great mem.

  21. I could say I simpy like this pictures , but as nothing is perfect I hope you want to hear some things that I don't like too . In the first picture a crop would be ok because the branchs in the right of the image are disturbing . I have no comment about the second one . The thid is good , but when I watch it I feel like ...hmmm... everything is going down because of that line which is going down . In the last horizont is in the middle and I think it would have been better in the upper half , but it is ok. Good pictures ! Keep shooting !

  22. It'sME

    viewpoints differ and perfection is an odd concept, I certainly aspire to it, but do not expect to succeed in this lifetime as ' only Allah is perfect'.

    My viewpoint is obviously different to yours, but just as valid.
