Skywatch Friday - Fire In The Sky
Happy Birthday Skywatch Friday - this great meme turns 3 this week, so be sure and visit. They're asking for people's best photos to celebrate. If you want to see what I think is my best Skywatch photo, view my lightning strike here. For this week, here's something new. It's a picture I took a week ago at sunset where the sky simply caught on fire near the Sun. This is how it came out of the camera, no filters were used and no processing was done on the file.

the sky looks like it's on fire. probably because it's skywatch's 3rd b/day.

It definitely looks like fire...it looks like a California fire storm! Wow! That is beautiful.

Oh my goodness, it does look like there's a fire just behind the hill. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! The clouds do look like fire. We have had some sunsets like that also - must be a hot, dry sky. I added two links to the July 11 eclipse Andes sunset eclipse and Eclipse watchers to my sky Watch after your comment.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot with the light rising like flames.
ReplyDeleteThe thumbnail of this caught my eye in my blogroll yesterday but I didn't have time to visit then. It's spectacular - it really looks as if the sun is shooting out flares just over the horizon.
ReplyDeleteAmazing captured !!
ReplyDeleteI do appreciate fiery sky shots but this takes the biscuit!.... It really IS on fire!....:))
ReplyDeleteAmazing and unusual! The lightening strike was amazing, too. You were in the right place at the right time!
ReplyDeleteI love how the light dances across the clouds. Very beautiful!
