SkyWatch Friday: Sunset and puffy clouds

There have only been two days since the last sky watch that I've taken sky shots.

This sunset caught me by surprise because it was a solid gray day until sunset.

I was alerted to the sunset because my blinds started glowing with an orange light.

Hard to believe that August is already ending.

This has been a good summer in terms of mild temperatures.

Everything is so green and fresh looking which is unusual for August here.

I'm curious about whether the fall foliage will be good this year. I think wet weather doesn't usually yield the best fall colors for some reason.

  4. Wonderful captures Carver. Don't you love it when the setting sun alerts us to its presence and splendour by sending rays through our windows, giving us time to grab the camera!?

  13. Your first capture is out of this world! The green views with the clouds remind me of Holland though - most of the year it looks like that!
