"A sunrise is God's promise the world should go on, a sunset his signature."
I took these images on June 14th. The first two are from my front porch and the rest from the open field just below the hill I live on. They are posted in the order in which I took them and were taken in the span of about thirty-five minutes. It was amazing to watch the color of the sky change so dramatically over the course of those few minutes. While watching this wonderful transformation of color I turned and there was the moon high in the sky behind me.
On this evening God's paintbrush left a beautiful signature!
It is well known that we Portuguese once sailed the seven seas searching for new lands, wealth and adventures.
ReplyDeleteWe were brave in those days and gave the world new worlds!
Luckily I don’t have to sail the big oceans on a small ship to sea the wonders of our world …
No Sir, I just need to check with Mr. Tom, the finest host there is, for a trip around the world with SKY WATCH TOURS and with a click here, a click there I am quickly in the USA, England, Brazil, Italy, China, Australia, Finland … well, everywhere.
And on each stop I come to see a little marvel of our world under a great sky!
Hope you can come and see my piece of the sky at lenses & visions
what a beautiful display of colours!
ReplyDeletethere's something special about summer sunsets...
Those are stunning, Carletta. An excellent series of photographs and commentary!
ReplyDeleteHave a great 4th of July weekend.
Just a quick visit to say thank you for joining in with Sky Watch.
ReplyDeleteNice to see you one the list early
I have a feeling that Sky Watch is going to be showing lots of colour this week...
Tom
Thanks for this season, Carletta. The texture and color are amazing.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are wonderful...I never tire of seeing skies like this. If I am with someone all I can do is say, "LOOK!" I kind of drive my husband and daughter crazy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours, and I love the yellow colour in the sky on you pictures.
ReplyDeleteNice weekend to you, from Anne in Norway.
beautiful sequence of photos with color and striking scenery
ReplyDeleteCarletta, These are magnificent... the colors, the composition, the clouds (you know I love clouds!!). The love the 3rd one the best with the various cloud type layers and the sheared cumulus tower... wonderful stuff.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photography, Carletta. I think this is going to be the best Sky Watch Friday yet. The things I have seen are very encouraging and the photography is spot on.
ReplyDeleteI really admire your photography skills and your critical eye for composition, lighting and texture.

Since I don't see a comment, I'll try again ... and if this is a duplicate please feel free to delete it. Those are gorgeous sunset photos ... and the quote is perfect!
