SkyWatch ~ Blazing Sunrise


The sky showed promise on this freezing dawn . . . note
the little swirl just above the light patch


As the light grows, gentle pastel colours develop . .


and suddenly the sky is on fire!


and that curly little dog-tail is in a sea of red.


I loved the touch of green in the sky before the magic left.



All photos enlarge as always . . .

Join in the fun and post you own skies on SkyWatch, just click on the Logo
and you are there!

    Arija, I thought so this morning, have said many times and have to repeat it again: You have the most wondrous skies around! Gorgeous images.

    A wonderful weekend to you,
    Merisi
