SkyWatch ~ Sunset Serenade



Coming home from town the other day, we stopped in one of
the little towns on the way to pick up some milk . . .
Going back to the car, the sky was full of magic,


as it started to rain, I looked slightly to the right and saw the
season of rainbows still had something in it's pocket . . .
raindrops on the lens and all . . .


I think I would make a pretty good sharp-shooter, all the
following shots were taken from a fast moving car.

I thought this one looked like something 'out of Africa'.


This was more like a bushfire (wildfire for those in N.America).


This one is just a tad threatening . . .


I was amazed how with so many trees along the roadside
impeding my view, I managed to get quite reasonable shots.



Somehow I managed to gather the best clouds with even a
bit of foreground.



Enlarge and enjoy!

  8. Fantastic sky sequence. I love the way the light made the tree amber in one of these shots. The clouds were incredible and always a pleasure to see a rainbow.
