The day began with a beautiful and colorful dawn and ended with a magnificent sunset.
I watched the dawn colors paint the sky but didn't photograph it.
But in the evening SWMBO called my attention to the sky and I did grab my camera.
The setting sun reflecting off the clouds in the sky from a rainy day made it appear as if there was a massive fire just beyond the line of houses.
The colors ranged from golden to red to purple as the sun sank below the horizon.
It was an amazing display of the artistry of Mother Nature's paintbrush.
The clouds look a little like smoke adding to the illusion
ReplyDeleteSpectacular scenes!
ReplyDeleteI don't think any artist has approached the inventiveness and variety of nature.
ReplyDeleteThat magnificent sunrise was over in a blip. I couldn't get me and the dog and a camera out the door before it disappeared in heavy cloud cover. It was true that day that 'red by morning, sailors take warning'.
ReplyDeleteBruce, looking good.

Very dramatic!
ReplyDeleteWe get the pinky-purple sunsets, but never the golden part with it.
ReplyDeleteNight came, and morning followed.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you felt compelled to grab your camera.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sky!
The first picture looks like a "ballet".
