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.
ReplyDeleteFG: I can't add anything that you haven't already said. Except these are spectacular. Thank you. Lisa
ReplyDeleteFrom 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!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious sky you captured! A perfect SWF.
Each photo more beautiful than the last!
ReplyDeletePerfect shots for this round of skywatch. Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy a lot these skies! This is a splendid Sky Watch!
ReplyDeleteWow! And to think you arranged this all for us Sky Watchers!
ReplyDeleteGreat series of photographs. Those moments pass very quickly in the morning. Seems that the evening shots don't change so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky shots!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful sky -- you're so lucky to see dawns like this! Thank you for sharing the photos, they're wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd the sky sure did explode, FG! What a GREAT catch!
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteHope 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
ReplyDeleteLovely 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sky gift you received.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteAmazing sky show with all such beautiful photos. At first, I thought it's sunset time.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Great to watch this sunrise, thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You got the same kind of clouds as dewdrop did! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Klaus
Did that wee ghostie in the sky scare the living daylights out ot you?
ReplyDeleteNice sequence.
WOW, I can't pick a favourite from those shots, the colours are just gorgeous.

Amazing show!and I did see the ghost. Glad you took the time to follow this sunrise--no two are ever the same.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, F.Guy!
Amazing Sky show though, your sky looks like it was painted by Monet and not a halloween ghost!
ReplyDeleteYou were definitely being treated! And thank you for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteI did see the ghost. Loved it!
15 minutes dramatic sky show! Breathtaking gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt does certainly make one wonder when it keeps changing like that. Cool captures.

ReplyDeleteHow 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous series of day breaking. My favourite is the first one because I love the purple clouds/
ReplyDeleteThese are just incredible.
ReplyDeleteI could stare at this sky all day long. ;-)

ReplyDeleteHow 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!
