SKYWATCH FRIDAY - RAMSEY, DAY FOR NIGHT

RAMSEY, DAY FOR NIGHT
BABOOSHKA
This image is copyrighted.


July 4th, we had this marvellous sunset. Never seen a sky like this in the 5 years I've been here.
For those who saw the previous posts you know I took a heaps of the setting sun that night over the nature reserve. Most of them I am using on a project which requires exclusivity, but this is one of the surplus I had left over. The other surplus stockI may post at sometime, unless I have alternative use for them.

For the record, no filters, photoshop or any other digital enhancements used. This was the sun setting between 10.pm 10.30pm July 4th 2008. You can check other sites to see I was not the only one who got this night's sunset images, but I am one of the few who got it at the optimum moments.

Not a lot else to say tonight. Need a blog break, due to small minded people who really have nothing better to do that belittle the blog. I'll let the image do the talking instead.It has a lot more to say with such colourful vibrant language than I do tonight, and that really is a change.

Please stop by Wiggers World tonight, as the sun is setting on the blog. Thank you.

  8. Babooshka - as I said before, this is an awesome sight and I am so glad you caught it on camera.

    I know how you feel with blogging. I am struggling too with similar reasons, but I will not let small minded people dictate to me what I do or do not do. I will not give them that power.

    Do as you wish to. Do what is right for YOU.

  40. Lovely sunset once again.

    Hey, get over the little minded people, okay?

    ReplyDelete
  41. It's one of those specials when the atmosphere is just so and all the other conditions. Gave you a great shot but YOU had to be there to grab it.
    The colour cast on mine is not my doing either but actually lousy processing of a roll of transparency.
    I was dyingto use trans parency once more after maybe twenty years but its hard to get here and harder for good processing. I'd love to do my own once more.

  42. For the record, no filters, photoshop or any other digital enhancements used.
    That makes the day.

  45. "C'était pendant l'horreur d'une profonde nuit......." magnifique ce ciel

    "It was during the horror of a deep night ......." this magnificent sky

    ReplyDelete
  46. That one is surplus?! - I'd love to see what the ones you used are like. Its hard for me to believe the sun can set at 10.30 pm. It sets by 8.30 here in summer, twilight is such a strange phenomenon.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wow - the hand of Mother Nature just constantly amazes me!!! You were so lucky (and clever) to capture it for us!!! Thanks!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. It`s really an impressive sky and a photo!
    I am never tired of seeing sunsets or sunrises or photos of them, they are always different and so rich of nuances.
    Happy weekend to you, BAABOSHKA!

    I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to follow your blog on a regular basis so I missed these comments of which you speak. I'm sorry to hear of it -- why don't people have better things to do?!

    Thank you for popping by my Villigen blog. Glad to hear that your recycling program is a good one. Best wishes from CH.
