SkyWatch ~ One Element of a Sunset


This week I had a sunset and a half. That is why I am only
giving you this one element of these clouds shooting into the
sky like fireworks. This skyshow is happening directly over-
head with me facing more north than any where else.


My camera and I were mesmerised by all the wonders developing
around us so just imagine what was going on in the west and east
while this was going on at the zenith.


From a gentle sweep, to gold to rose . . . next week, more!



All Photos grow when tickled, enjoy.

    The irresistible lure of a wide open sunset with colors to set our souls on fire. These are nice shots.

    Hiya Arija,
    There are times when one would like to have a complete cupola panorama.
    Looks like this was one of those times. Mesmerizing is the word.

    Teeheeheee. I couldn't resist tickling those photos.

    Goodness, my dear Arija. That was quite a show. I can only imagine the drama brewing between the gods in heaven that caused such a fiery display.

    Be well, my sweet.
