This is the promised conclusion of last week's post.
Do enlarge them and be rewarded by the shifting colours.
As the afternoon wore on, a war between good and
evil erupted in the sky.
They fought like tigers, advantage shifting from
minute to minute.
A brief respite as the setting sun beat them into
submission,
yet still, while the light lingered, the battle raged on
Absolutely amazing color, and I so love shooting pics of clouds, this would have been my dream shoot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

Beautiful scenes.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the rain cloud won. Although it's hard to tell it was raining in those last two shots. These are amazing skies and captures and your words tell it well.
ReplyDeleteThe light and the shifting colors are amazing, Arija - the second to last is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWho won, Arija - was it finally a fine night or did it rain? Lovely sky photographs.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting mine and I'm not sure what the tree is. It's on on the trail around the lake and I think it's a poplar but I may be wrong.
I hope you are far from the bushfire over there.
ReplyDeleteYou already are having heatwaves there. The sunset looks dramatic so with the early thick clouds of the above pictures.
Beautiful skies Arija!!
