Sky Watch - Delicate Sunset - Post 103
On the way back home from a jaunt earlier this week, the beautiful colors of the sunset caught my eye. The sun had been a blazing ball of brilliant peachy-red, and colored the unclouded sky with the most amazing colors. I think it must have been dust particles that picked up the glorious tints. Within 2 minutes of taking the photo above, all the color was gone. I did no 'doctoring' on this photo; it's as it came straight from the camera, with tiny bit of cropping to eliminate a powerline pole.
Sky Watch was created by Dot and is now brought to you by our friends Klaus, Sandy, Fishing Guy, Ivar, and Wren, and the newest team member, Louise, from Albuquerque. Visit the Sky Watch Friday home page anytime after 7:30 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time on Thursdays to see sky photos from around the world. You'll be glad you did.

Heavenly, just heavenly. Thankyou. What a beatiful thing the natural world is.
Very nice sunset. Sometimes it's the one's with no clouds that are the most spectacular.
I love sunsets with color like that. This one is manificent with the way you got the hillside in it. Wonderful!
I love Skywatch...because regardless its not the same sky for everyone...each view is different...each view is beautiful...
thanks for your view!

Hey - missed you last week (Didn't I?) But it was worth the wait - lovely shot.

Great photo.
A real prize winner.
Print it about 12x16, frame it and hang it on the wall.
Come visit,

Wonderful soft peachy pink colours! Bravo! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful sunset. Nice colors.
Very beautiful and soft ! P.S. I don't understand monochromes myself (yet) but I am an obedient student and I will paint the demanded 30 layers ... I think :-), meanwhile we can of course do our regular painting but that doesn't go so fast.
A beautiful sky..thankyou for showing us!
And thanks for your visit..glad you liked the reflections in the blue building!

Oh Pat, it is such a beautiful sunset with the trees in front already blotted by nightfall. The pink looks so soft and gentle.
A most charming sunset.
Beautiful and love the angle of the silhouette
This is beautiful. I like the color. "Delicate Sunset" is the perfect title.
Delicate indeed. Quite lovely.
Great picture. Loved the color of the sky.
A wonderful and peaceful sunset it is. The colors are beautiful
Lovely sunset shot!
Beautiful colors indeed.

Isn't it wonderful when you can capture that beauty in the camera? I'm often disappointed that my photos are only a reminder of what I saw, without coming close to representing it.
Congratulations on an outstanding photo.
such beautiful colors and contrast :)
