SkyWatch ~ and God Still Swung the Brush

Third and last week of the same extraordinary sunset.
Please do enlarge them, you will be rewarded.

not content with gentle washes, now the highlights come into

play

streaks of blinding gold career across the sky

mutating, softening into pink on blue and

ever so slowly deepening into the purple and blue

of oncoming night. A ghostly whorl of white among the darkening

clouds

as darkness turns the evening into the dreamy blue stillness

of the night.

If you have not enlarged any up to now, at least enlarge the last

one to get the full force of that magical blue.

My thanks to the SkyWatch team for the opportunity to take part

in this wonderful meme.

SkyWatch ~ More Sunset

To follow on from last week's sunset . . .

Now the Great Painter swung the brush again



with traces still of red, yet turning more to purple hues



a quick stroke melds both pink and blue



bringing to light the last glow of the sun.



The wonder is not yet ended. To be continued . . .

All photos enlarge for more colour magic.

The Logo at right opens a wealth of skies around the world which,
thanks to our wonderful SkyWatch Team we can all enjoy and share.

SkyWatch ~ 52 Tha Sun Always Rises...

Spring is moving along and pretty sunrises are no
longer the order of the day so when I saw this, I was
out like a shot with my camera.



Cold it might have been but the colour changes with
the change of angle of the camera were spectacular.



From purples back to gold and reds and back again



it was hard to say which way to look...



one minute the sky was aflame, cooled down again,

only to roar into a raging inferno once more. What a sky show!

With thanks to our hosts Klaus and the Skywatch team

for continuing this great meme.

SkyWatch ~ 43 'Only Five Minutes More'

Here are five minutes more of the same sunrise
I showed you last week. Please enlarge to enjoy.

4.38am a beautiful pale gold sunrise giving no
indication of what was to come



4.40am the first colour tinging the clouds above



4.41am a fire kindles in the sky and starts rising
to the clouds overhead



abating a little to reveal the pale blue beyond



mixing the colour palette from golds through blues
to reds and purples



to finally tip a whole bucket full of red fire accross
the sky above me and all around.

The experience was totally awe inspiring,

like a rain of curling, swirling fire!

the Logo will take you to other skies of wonder.

To Klaus and the SkyWatch Team, where would we be without you?
