Sky Watch Friday has on it's own site. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were 385 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post.I was driving to work last Friday and it was dark and cloudy starting out for the first hour. Then the sun started to rise and the sky exploded. This all took place in fifteen minutes.
The darkness was replaced by a wondrous site.
The sky kept changing as I drove.
I had to obliged and tried to catch a shot every couple of minutes.
It kept showing different phases as the Sun rose.
I felt like I was being treated to a marvelous sky show.
It all started to calm down and the colors all mellowed. Something started to change, a little spooky don't you think.
The final shot before the Sun broke through told the whole story. It was all to get my attention as the ghost of Halloween showing up in the sky. Can you see his eyes, nose and mouth as he says Happy Halloween?
I do hope you enjoyed the sky show.

You whole sky show was also for us - this is absolutely fantastic. What an amazing progression! And I do see the Halloween Ghost. Very well captured.
FG: I can't add anything that you haven't already said. Except these are spectacular. Thank you. Lisa
From the fact that you've made this post, I know you made the drive to work safe and sound! Taking photos while driving....now who would DO that? (Well, aside from you and me!)
What a glorious sky you captured! A perfect SWF.
Each photo more beautiful than the last!
Perfect shots for this round of skywatch. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers!

WOW, those are amazing photos! The colors so vivid.
Thanks for sharing
Take care
What a fabulous sky show. I'm so glad you managed to shoot it as the evolution continued. Gorgeous.
What a show!! So glad you captured it to share with us!
Great photographs. It's hard to know when to quit. Well done.
Nice "Sky Watch" today.

I enjoy a lot these skies! This is a splendid Sky Watch!
Wow! And to think you arranged this all for us Sky Watchers!
Great series of photographs. Those moments pass very quickly in the morning. Seems that the evening shots don't change so quickly.
The colors are fantastic. I like the black squirrel on a previous post, but I have to say I am not much of a bug person.
Beautiful sky shots!
Such a beautiful sky -- you're so lucky to see dawns like this! Thank you for sharing the photos, they're wonderful.
And the sky sure did explode, FG! What a GREAT catch!
What a show Mother Nature put on for you as you drove (and took pictures?) to work!! Absolutely beautiful scenes, each one stunning in its own way! What a way to start your day...and thanks for sharing with us!
Hope you have a good week and none of that cold white stuff makes another appearance. I think I jinx myself on that one, b/c the post before was called "right around the corner"...speaking of wind and snow!1 lol.
Perfect for SWF. Great colors. These shot makes me happy. Thank you
Lovely sky photos as always. Really excellent. Thanks for showing them.

What amazes me here is not how quickly it all changed--I've photographed enough sunrises and sunsets to realize that--but the clouds themselves are so different in each phase of the sunrise. Really spectacular captures and terrific post!
What a sky gift you received.
I had no idea it was leading up to a ghost! :)
It feels as if the sky has compensated you with this fabulous display after a long day at work.
Amazing sky show with all such beautiful photos. At first, I thought it's sunset time.
Have a great weekend.
Great to watch this sunrise, thanks for sharing this.
Awesome! You got the same kind of clouds as dewdrop did! Fantastic!
Cheers, Klaus
Did that wee ghostie in the sky scare the living daylights out ot you?
Nice sequence.
WOW, I can't pick a favourite from those shots, the colours are just gorgeous.

That's some very intense color, almost look "molten"!
WOW... did I EVER enjoy this sky show. WOW... what a spectacular display of nature. Much better than a firework display! I love nature!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful show with us. Nature at her best I think. Well captured.
Hi Fishing Guy, love your skies, like mine the sky on fire.
I did see his face.........eerie!
Beautiful photos you were being blessed with a sky show.
Wow what a light show, just stunning shots
It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
Glad you're keepin' your eye on the sky.
Amazing show!and I did see the ghost. Glad you took the time to follow this sunrise--no two are ever the same.
Happy weekend, F.Guy!
Amazing Sky show though, your sky looks like it was painted by Monet and not a halloween ghost!
You were definitely being treated! And thank you for sharing it with us!
I did see the ghost. Loved it!
15 minutes dramatic sky show! Breathtaking gorgeous pictures!
It does certainly make one wonder when it keeps changing like that. Cool captures.
This is a great sunrise series! Such beautiful changes!
How lovely that you were able to capture such a beautiful show! One thing I have found, since I starting doing Sky Watch, is that the sky can change so quickly. Marvelous.
What a gorgeous series of day breaking. My favourite is the first one because I love the purple clouds/
These are just incredible.
I could stare at this sky all day long. ;-)

Now THAT'S a Gorgeous sunrise. It left me speechless! Great Skywatch FG!
I rarely catch the sunrise--our eastern horizon is treed.
Yours are lovely.
Nina at Nature Remains
Nice capture of the beautiful sky!
That is just amazing. So beautiful.
Wonderful series FG and I too see the Halloween ghost!
My sky is almost the same colors.
How nice of nature to turn on that beautiful slide show for your morning commute. A great way to start the day.
Thanks for sharing with Sky Watch Friday and making it such a colorful event. Thanks also for your kind comments on my post earlier.
You've outdone yourself yet again!!! Check out those colors - so BOLD and dramatic - Very Very Nice!!!
These are YOWZA!
I love the red in these!
Amazing blazing morning skies!
How blessed you are that you were up early enough to capture these on film and in your memory!
I see the sun coming up but the covers seem to stay ontop of me so I never get to see this..perhaps I need the rooster to call!
A sky watcher who has come back!
Nice meeting you!
Thanks for sharing your sky with us. It's beautiful even the ghost. :-)
What a glorious sequence of photos! I am always amazed at how different the sun's comings and goings can be. Your SKF is fabulous.

Loveley, lovely sky shots FG. I took a photo of the sky reflected from a puddle today, not as good as your pics though!
It is wonderful when the sun is sending the first morninglight to the cloud, you are lucky to get this moment for SWF.
Have a nice weekend.
Those first ones are really knockouts... I like the subtler ones too...

A wonderful series, Tom. I like how it ranges from the very vivid saturated first image to the one of the face as the fiery colors start to fade
Wow, those are spectacular sky pictures! I love sunrises and sunsets.
The whole series of shots is beautiful to scroll! But I especially love the pink cloud textures in the 4th shot!
