Sometimes you get the feeling something special is going to happen. I had a friendly sky as I drove home last Friday and as the Sun began to set you could feel that something was going to happen with that low cloud and the Western sky.
This all took place in 5 minutes and I tried to take a shot each minute as the Sun sank toward the horizon. I thought this hook cloud was so interesting, maybe a fisherman's promise.
The hook was burnt out but the sky was ablaze.
I was enjoying the show as I went down a hill into valley.
The bottom of the hill was reached and a flock of crows filled the sky. You could hear the crows talking and saying to each other let's head for a roost before dark comes creeping across the sky.
Just that quick the sun was gone and the darkness started to envelope the sky. That was the end of the photos but it was an exciting time as I had traveled through the beauty of the sunset. This is five minutes later and the darkness came soon behind.The beauty of the sunset can readily be seen
it will be with us only for a shot time, not long.
I hope that it is always a show which is truly keen
so watch it with your heart filled with a song.
Travel around the net and see the other beautiful skies of the world.

wow! impressive sky like a "Painted sky"I could not paint that fanttastic, but you did it by photography!

Happy Sky Watch!
Astonishing set of shots!
ReplyDeleteIt's true that we should enjoy the beautiful skies to the fullest because they are so fleeting. Your sky was beautiful, and doesn't it make you feel God put it there just for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo warmly coloured and summer like photos, they make happy feeling.
ReplyDeleteOur world is now quite white and the sky has been grey weeks. But we all love that new glimmering snow, which will last increasing step y step until March.
In April we will not love it any more:)
Happy weekend to you!

fishing guy, thank you it has worked.
ReplyDeleteStunning. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFishing Guy, first thanks for giving me this award. I'm so grateful. Now, I have a favor to ask. I need help getting my award from your blog to my blog. This summer Old Lady Lincoln gave me an award and I didn't know how to pick it up. Jack and daugters were busy so I missed out on that award. This time I'm determined to pick it up if I can get a little instruction on how to do so. Sorry I'm such an untechie person. LOL. Joann
ReplyDeleteYes, WOW!!! Yet again, you've captured another beautiful sky! Keep them coming - I love your photos!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely post, inspiring photos and blog.
ReplyDeleteWow!! You have captured some amazing photos here! Absolutely beautiful...just a reminder of the awe of nature! Love your dragonfly in the previous post...I was surprised to see my Autumn Meadowhawks so late!
ReplyDeleteWow!! I'm always in awe over your photos and this series of photos is no exception. Stunning!! I love sunset photos!
ReplyDeleteYour sunrise photos are stunning! You were a lucky guy to be able to see that. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous series. I love the crispness of the blue in the first shot. All are stunning. BJ
ReplyDeleteGreat sequence of shots and a beautiful palette of colours.
ReplyDeleteClouds are the unsung hero of any memorable sunset ... but the sun gets all the credit.
ReplyDeleteSome of the most beautiful photos I've seen.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about something special about to happen. And if you're not in exactly the right place at the right time....it's gone! I missed that sky two nights ago, but have caught it other times and will again, I hope. Guess the best thing to live by is NEVER be without your camera!
Love your blog, FG!
