SkyWatch ~ Shades of Sunset


With daily maxima having dropped from 41C to 18C I felt like
getting my winter woollies out again. All this chopping and
changing did however make for a splendid sunset.

A peek at the main event,


a slight shift to let you see the streak of greenish blue near
the horizon,


gentleness a little further south,



a complete change of mood slightly northward


and back to the main event which during these few moments
has managed to pale a fraction.



Please leave me a comment if you can. I will do my utmost to come and visit,
however, events in my life beyond my control have severely restricted my blogging.

Happy Skywatch everyone!

    Just glorious. And if I saw those colours in a painting I would think it was unreal.
    Thank you - and I hope that life settles down for you soon.
