SkyWatch ~ Softly Goes the Sun . . .


The white hot sun sinks over the hill,


gently colouring a few clouds,


shedding its light over a few little clouds with it's last rays,


and leaving some pastel gold in farewell.



Watch the sky, whether blue grey or rosy red and when you have
enjoyed it's wonders, share them with the rest of the world on
SkyWatch Friday!

    Awesome, soft and yet dramatic skies, Arija, and beautiful captures as always! Like Karen, I always love trees silhouetted against the sky! Hope your week is going well!

    How lovely to see those gentle sun colours Arija - a lovely change from the reds and oranges we usually see.

    HI there - ncie set of pictures - we have had 3 days of rain. Not sure posting images of flat grey sky is what I should do, so I did something else!

    Hope all is well.
