ParticipantThank you for a beautiful launch to Volume VII, Michael! And so right you are about the images in Volume 6 which wrapped up with a not-to-be-missed ‘Color Glimpse’ by Hans.
Below, this twilight scene almost seems to feature two suns. Hmmm… what planet was I on?

ParticipantWhere to start with the new beginnings by Michael. Michael your 701 for me looks like the Grand Canyon, which brings back fond memories of hikes. 702 is soft and so appealing.
Keelin, of course there are two suns out there and those trees did catch your tasty candy.
Gregory, did you and Keelin get together on the same beauty of a pink sky?
Hans, I do love your colors in Purples. It is so exquisite. I finally found some grey- coral in Montana.

ParticipantKeelin and Gregory share the same theme with Fiery Fingers and Cotton Candy Caught showing trees trying to scratch or catch the reds in the sky. Very nice. Michael posted a wavy pattern of gentle colored dots together making a fantastic composition in Arizona Sunset #702, suggesting some mighty movement. Sheryl caught some very delicate colors opposite to the setting sun. And then there is this stunning January Alpenglow by Ruth. Breathtaking scenery with cray colors imo. Wow.

ParticipantOOPS! Not “gray” colors of course, but “crazy” colors in January Alpenglow! Sorry for the typo Ruth!

ParticipantWow! Michael, #702 and #703 are both just beautiful beyond words. Ruth, your January Alpenglow took my breath away. Gregory, The Opening is an irresistible invitation to begin either daytime or dreamtime. Sheryl, couldn’t agree with you more about the magic of watching the colors build and fade. Love the soft, enchanting hues you’ve captured there. Hans, your Mirrored has a painterly quality, so vibrant and crisp. I can almost hear the sea roaring in delight. Philip, a welcome to you as warm as your sun pillar. And Dondatella, love the streaks of contrasting colors, themselves in contrast with that wide skyful of dark/bright clouds. All in all, the photos above make for fantastic viewing any time of day or night.
Below, a slightly different take on this topic’s title theme. Here a bright sun rises above weeping clouds returning light and radiant warmth for all. To borrow a few familiar words: It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter… seems like (four) years since it’s been here…

ParticipantJust to add another sunrise and sunset, I always try to find a nice sky each day. Some days are better than most, it’s either a good day or don’t look above. Despite my trip to work where I’ve took these they sky above is always a pleasure.

ParticipantJust thank you Philip for your sun pillar and sunset. And great tender colors in your Class Reunion Ruth.
For Keelin: it is nice indeed to welcome the sun. Your text urges me to quote the Stones: “And it sure been a cold, cold winter”. Great song. Although the next sun hereunder is setting he or she promises to be back tomorrow.
See You Tomorrow

ParticipantSuch beautiful photos from everyone! While I haven’t much opportunity to post to this topic, I always enjoy seeing what everyone’s been sharing. Gregory, your sunset is like the quiet sigh as a good friend slips out of view. Ruth, in the soft blend of hues you captured in Just out My Front Door, I think you caught it at just the perfect moment before those luscious colors would have muddied, and Wine in the Water is an amazing shot. Hans, love the (clever) Moustache, and Leaving At Sunset really looks like that rosy curtain is coming down on the day. Michael, your pinks and blues absolutely shimmer.
I felt lucky to watch as this cloud appeared to release its spirit at the end of the day.

ParticipantGorgeous, deep rose-to-purple in Just Sunset Colors from Hans, followed by Michael’s incandescent scarlet—Wow! Good thing Ruth brought us those beautiful, softer shades of Bedtime so our eyes might rest a moment before Michael wakes us again with #723. It brings to mind a bubble stream that someone might want to play in.

ParticipantDolphin’s delight is amazing and also a bit disturbing, Keelin. I feel I have to look at it from aside. Anyway a great and unusual composition with a buble stream. Flame Trower is also a great capture Rut. The dragon still has the fire in its belly. Let’s not wait for what has to come!
Did you have trouble postin Michael? Just a minute ago I had something alike. I logged out and logged in and it was solved. I hope it helps because I don’t want to miss something by you, like the subtle red rim on #724.

ParticipantLove the pink thread in AZ #724, Michael. The path of a Phoenix in flight?
And Flame Thrower is HOT, Ruth!
Hans, Edgy is fantastic! Mysterious and beckoning. And so glad to hear you liked the Dolphin image despite finding it also disturbing. I’d turned the camera to avoid power lines, so perhaps that added a queasy vertigo factor. Was that it? If so, glancing aside is probably wise. I for one am never without some Dramamine when asea!
Posting Problem: Yesterday and continuing this morning, I’ve had problems with posting to the ‘Looks Like’ topic, almost immediately after I had successfully added a new image and comment there. Logging out and in again has not solved it yet. Testing now to see if I can add to other topics.

ParticipantAh, so. When I first Googled it there was an explanation, but Googling a second time, Google knows best so it would only give the picture not the explanation. Grrr.
I first saw the picture in The Times, UK, today with caption
“… storm gathering over a sunset … in the open road between the cities of Earth and Littlefield in Texas.”
Beautiful yet terrifying images show Monday’s storm as it arrived in Texas (mysanantonio.com)
Not working again??? Fingers crossed.

ParticipantHygge, thanks for the Texas posting. My Aunt lives in Lubbock. She said the storm that came through was something. Neighbors were outside with cameras, then back inside for a drink!
Hans, Backlight is such a great shot of color. Right now it is looking like my evening campfire.
Michael, your #725 is a refreshing picture of easy colors on the eyes. Pure fun.

ParticipantThanks for the comments! #728 was just one of a whole sunset shoot..in which I forgot to bring the ultra wide wide angle . Had to settle with the just wide angel to get the nimbus blow out. Delicate streamers , color shifts and extremes in highlites and shadows made for a bit of time processing the pics. Im glad you liked the shot.There will be more, but for now

ParticipantSo many new beauties here from Hans, Ruth, and Michael since I last posted to this topic back in May. I continue to revisit many of them, taking more than a moment to breathe in the beauty of each one. And I thank you all for adding a sweet serenity to those intentional pauses in my day. Finally caught this lovely sunset yesterday evening.

I’m a bit out of my computer depth here. I was checking the UK Met Office radar tracking of flying ants (or perhaps flying hover flies said a comment) and came across this sunrise; another sunrise in the same link would not allow me to copy. Fingers crossed.

ParticipantSo pretty are the pinks you’ve captured, Michael. And it looks like it’s already time to put volume VII to bed. What a collection gathered here! I must confess to returning for another sip of Ruth’s Wine In The Water; Michael’s #702 & 719; and Hans’s Purples and Mirrored, but along the way, I re-enjoy each and everyone’s contributions. Many thanks to everyone: Ruth, Hans, Michael, Gregory, Sheryl, Philip, Donatella, Hygge.
Can’t wait to see what morning brings.
