Berried SunsetI actually have to thank another for this inspired skywatch shot. I was going to upload a crescent moon taken on the same night but I haven't sorted those out yet. When blog hopping I came across CHELTENHAM, MARLEY one of my regular drops and he had a beautiful berry shot(go see) and it jogged my memory about this image I took on the same night. The crescent moon was out and the sky was just awash with a palette of colours I easily rattled off a about 50 shots in about 10 mins, just adjusting the setting to eek out every last drop of light as I went along. Again this was taken over the Poyll Dooey Nature Reserve Ramsey- otherwise known as the back of my house. I know I am lucky to have this to call upon for photography. I could produce a calender or a book of images from this place, it's just so pretty and inspiring. Where is your favourite place to photograph?
Busy weekend coming up. If you are in the UK buy the Sunday Star newspaper as Gary's Cartoon will be in( under the name Barker) and watch the BARKER GALLERY BBC POLITICS SHOW as yet again they are featuring Gary's cartoon. So I am resigned to coffee and food runs while he produces 3 or 4 masterpieces, deadline by Friday lunchtime. Art and photography is like waiting for a bus. Ages for a job to come in then they all turn up at once! Unfortunately the money though doesn't all turn up at the same time.
To join skywatch go to SKYWATCH
The concept was Dot's, the next host WIGGERS WORLD the guardians of skywatch now are Tom, Imac and Sandy.
I know Tom is no longer blogging, but he does look in on us occasionally and his name will stay ont this skywatch link for me as he's the one who got me into this, was very supportive of my feldging blog when it went through a rough patch.
The sun is berried in the clouds!! Bwa ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteYou do have great beauty around you.
Thanks for your visits to Villigen.
Yes I do! And it is a wonderful image!
ReplyDeletethat's a beauty. lovely composition.
ReplyDelete*groan* LOL
ReplyDeleteSeriously, it's a gorgeous shot!
I'm sure the moon would have been nice, but I'm loving the berries with the wash of color behind. Nice!
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful! I love the light on the berries.
ReplyDeleteWell! it certainly brought a wide grin from me.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully berried too.
Great post.
Wonderful sunset! I like that you included the branches of berries to make a very special photo! You are so lucky to have a nature reserve at your back door. My favourite place to photograph is a lake.
ReplyDeleteGreat sunset! The tree branches add a little something extra!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous...and the berries add a nice contrast.
ReplyDeleteI liked the title. :-) The shot is gorgeous. I love that that beautiful sky is a backdrop.
ReplyDeleteLove the berries in the sunset. Well captured.
ReplyDeleteBerry nice photo.
ReplyDeleteImpressing capture!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch!

ReplyDeleteI love this. And it's one of my berry favorites......
Great job :)
Happy Sky Watch Friday!

I love your "berried" sunset... and might I say I dew love a good pun... how cheesy are we.
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, love the colors, and I love the way the berries seem to steal the show! The layers of the colors of the sunset are fascinating though... I've seen lots of orange and blue this go round...
I enjoyed your pun! The berries really look cool lit up on the side of this great sky like that. Have a fabulous weekend....
ReplyDeleteGreat composition. A wonderful way to contrast with that buried sunset (that really was baaad).
ReplyDeleteThat is so beautiful and I had to laugh at the berried sunset.
ReplyDeleteBerrrrrrrrry cool there Babooshka! :-)
ReplyDeletenice touch including the red berries...
ReplyDeleteHi Babs, like I always wanted to know what a berried sunset was. Now I have an idea, and for a burried sunset, I have no idea. [Google that?]
ReplyDeleteHappy SkyWatch, I'm doing it again this week (Little Photo Place). There could be a berry or two in my bushes, I didn't know to look.
:-)
..
I love it! pun and all! It's beautiful, berried or buried! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBerries & sky = perfect combination for Sky Watch Friday. Great photo !
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us all and your kind comments on my post earlier.
How marvelous to have your very own nature preserve! You must be berry proud (yes, I did it on purpose).
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! What an amusing post! I love it! =D

It's a wonderful picture and a nice game with words. :-)
ReplyDeleteBerried treasure. I love how the sunset mimics the colours of the berries. Pretty shot.
ReplyDeleteSharon
Great pun and photo! Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteBerry nice haha!
ReplyDeleteThe light on the berries against the sunset. Unusual and stunning. No comment on the pun.
ReplyDeleteTHe berries make a wonderful touch on the photo, Babooshka. I like the well-measured fill-in flash use ... very smooth.
ReplyDeleteI love the process by which you decided on this post. This is a wonderful sunset!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful photo. I love berries infront with the sky as a backdrop. Amazing. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteGroan, no really a very nice sky watch photo, thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteFab shot and I am off to see Gary's shenanigans. I love Tom. Must check in on him as well.

ReplyDeleteYep. I like this.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI love how the berries seem to glow in this light! Beautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteThe light is lovely, nice shot.
ReplyDeleteA pun for me and a pound for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat composition !
ReplyDeleteYour berried sunset is a great success! You invented a new verb: To berry. I berry, you berry, he berries.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your Sydney visits...I love this.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture and a great idea with the berries!
ReplyDeleteI think this one is a stand-out sky watch.
ReplyDeleteBerry Pretty.
ReplyDeleteOMG am going to be away from tomorrow. Will get a friend to buy the Sunday paper for me.
Absolutely stunning!!! Great composition!
ReplyDeleteGreat post title. Great colours. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBerry well done.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say, I have never seen a berried sunset before. But, I would like to see more of them. Very creative and eye popping.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. And very entertaining, as always.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. There is a very special light on it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely photo - I love the yellows in the sunset.
ReplyDeleteArt, photography like waiting for a bus. Add interviews to the list - my husband has been temping for months (not in Glasgow, just to make life even more complicated), and now has 3 interviews lined up in the next couple of weeks (none in Glasgow, though one in Scotland). So life is a bit manic here too. Send chocolate :D
Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a plant that grows in abundance here, yaupon holly, which I love. Great lighting for this one.
ReplyDeleteBerry, berry nice pic!
ReplyDeleteI like that 'berried' term :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the photograph is beautiful!
If you can't beat them join them......Berry effective......Love it.
ReplyDeleteIndeed YOU are the BEST!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot!! I didn't groan at all, I laughed :)
ReplyDeleteClever puns should never be berried nor buried, but instead encouraged. Flight of fancy and you never know where it will lead.
ReplyDeleteBarry couldn't have done better :)
(By the way, I have no idea who Barry is, but hey ... I do know where Bari is :))
This is an absolutely fabulous image! I enjoy it so much!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch!
One of the best I've seen, Babooshka. Very creative and great composition.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a fantastic shot - love the lighted berries!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's one original sunset - magnificent!
ReplyDeleteIt is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteNice shot, and a nice subtle sunset complimenting your berries.
ReplyDeleteJust berry perfect ..
ReplyDeleteI had no idea, I am always the last to know things, that Tom no longer blogs .. I hope all is well with him and Jane
:-Daryl
Droll, very droll.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic by the way. Thanks for sharing
What a lovely surprise!
ReplyDeletea great shot - i really enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteI like the effect of light in the foreground, and half light darkness in the distance.Very poetic composition, Babooshka.
ReplyDeleteI was the 100th commenter. Do I win something ? A comment in return, for instance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sunset!Astonishing photo!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Nice way to add a bit of additional color to the sky. Really like the composition.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most beautiful compositions I have seen. And as for bad puns... have you been taking lessons from David?
ReplyDeleteBelated congrats on POTD.
That is such a beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteA
Babooshka, the photo is exquisite! Perfect for Skywatch Friday! And I like the pun! :)
ReplyDeleteYes a bad pun but a great photo! I assume you had your flash on?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes you are lucky to have such abundance nearby! a bit like me with 'my' pond!
Wow! what a great shot...and yea i did moan but LOVE the humor!! Looked over your posts...very nice! Thanks for visiting my little ole blog today. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that photo is just beautiful. Great composition with the berries and all.
ReplyDeleteThe lighted berries add some spice to the sunset!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo!!! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog too...

A berry berry nice photo!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to just say it's so COOL picture!!
ReplyDeleteI really love the colours in this shot, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the interesting post above on the rule of thirds too
Love the berries and sunset!!
ReplyDeleteA very berry sky. Nice picture.
ReplyDeleteThose berries will travel to the sunset in a flash.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the berries are to the fore in this photo and not simply swallowed up by the stunning sunset. If I had taken this photo it would have been the sunset not the berries that would have dominated the photo. I can not tweak the settings on my camera to change this...maybe the macro setting? Come on, give us some tips Babooshka!
ReplyDeleteYour Gary's in the Star? It must have gone upmarket these days, his excellent work will really stand out there. I'll look out for it.
Beautiful, Babooshka! The photo is very pleasing to the eye. Excellent sky watch. I would love to see the crescent moon photos, too.
ReplyDeleteBerry, berry nice sunset! (I couldn't resist continuing the pun) I love this kind of picture with a close subject setting off the distant one. The effect is more telling when it is lighted rather than a silhouette. My favorite place to photograph is Yosemite National Park in California even though I have been there only once. For my blog Lew's Pics, more photos have been taken by walking outside than getting in the car and driving some place.
ReplyDeletePerfect! Just about every color of the rainbow in there. Very lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, you've been TAGGED. Sorry to spoil your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeletestunning and exquisite and astonishing picture. I really love it, as well as the pun:-)
My favourite picture so far.
I have no favourite place to photograph. But usually when the skywatch Friday is coming and I don´t have any photos of the sky, I just open the window and take a photo of the sky in front of my house. So maybe this is not my most favourite place to photograph, but definitely the most occured in my blog:-)
