Painted Sky












The sky was so dramatic this evening!
I could not believe what I saw.
I was fascinated and wanted to share this beauty with everyone.
Camera at hand, blogger - no problem :)
By the way:
Those nice clouds brought a blizzard with them!

It is good to share the wild beauty of your sky. The clouds are such great performers and the colours are fascinating.

Hi Maria :)

Lovely photos!

The sky looks threatening and not friendly at all. The clouds look like huge boulders carrying tonnes and tonnes of water to be off loaded at the slightest provocation by the wind. No wonder you had a blizzard.

How many trees were uprooted and how many poles fell down? Did any one get hurt? How many houses were damaged?

I hope the blizzard passed away peacefully without causing any havoc.

I hope you stayed indoors and not go outside to capture the nasty blizzard.

Best wishes,
Joseph :)

Beautiful colors on those clouds! Stormy clouds often have almost purple/grey color - which your shots show very well!

Ah, a great series of skies Maria...good on you!

I am sitting here in New York minding the baby while Mummy has gone to work and Daddy has his shower...what fun! It is warming up so fast since I arrived 2 nights ago. Amazing. Wonderful to see the Spring arrive so dramatically. So different to Australia.
