Rainbow Sherbet Dip Anyone? Cracking sky . Never had one since like this. Been here 6 years too. As you may recall I grabbed G, and the camera(not that he wanted to be dragged out at that times of night with hayfever through a field, bless) and bolted over to the Poyll Dooey nature reserve about 10pm and rattled off about 50 images as quick as you like before the last light faded. Not my usual leisurely stroll over to the meadow. Actually broke a sweat to capture these, which is not good for the world's laziest photographer you know!
The last time I showed the others from the night someone commented that they call these skies Rainbow Sherbet Dip skies. I have seen that same statement a lot recently. I like it. It really sums up this multi coloured against the silhouetted trees. Yes there is a lone bird in there too, which isn't in the others. Notice though what colour you don't see? Green. There are reasons, but that's for another times. As usual no pixels were hurt in the making of the images. Just captured, not manipulated. I'm sure I'll get another sky like this again here, just might have to wait another 6 years. To see others click the sherbet colours below and dip in. Fill ya boots!
Not 1 but 4 skies

Beautiful sky.
Rainbow shertbet dip indeed. It tastes great! Thank you for sharing.:)
ReplyDeleteWow, that really does look like sherbet dip. Fantastic, fanciful sky!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo
ReplyDelete!Really beautiful to see!Thank you for sharing!Have a nice weekend!
I can so relate to the dragging one's loved one at great haste to grab some amazing light before it goes. Generally puts me in a big debt in the brownie points dept. Still I'm sure you can pay yours with a few JD's or what G's tipple is. All I can say is it was worth what ever it cost to race across that field to grab images like these.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Love the colours!
ReplyDeleteWOW, that is an incredible looking sky!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Happy SWF
The silhouette adds weight and an anchor to the scene. Far out and tripping.
ReplyDeleteJust you and the bird flying high. Fantastic SWF post. Have a great time tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely loving the colors.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite intense, my favorite Ramsonian! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
Cheers, Klaus !
Babooshka, I have my spoon ready! I love sherbert! :)

My Dad would always say, "Red sky at night, Shepherds' Delight" - have no idea what this means but maybe an old English rural saying.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Babooshka. Love your site.
Nice picture, and great text!!!
ReplyDeleteLove from Norway
I can see it is not only the Viking sky that can have great colors! :) Must have been wonderful to see such fire in the sky!
ReplyDeleteWOW, I agree that the colors are similar to my husband's shot. Fantastic shot, well worth the work I'd say.
ReplyDeleteThat was a very dramatic 4th of July!

ReplyDeleteBabooshka: What a beaty, such a wonderful colored sky. You could lok at it forever and still see more.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors spilling across the sky. Great sky photo.
ReplyDeleteA very apt name for that stunning sky. Good capture, even if you had to run for it. For skies like that, I might run too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous sky! but you knew that already. Thanks for practicing safe pixilating. We need our pixels un-manipulated. hooboy, too much Jack Daniels. he's onlyt one of the three wise men, you know. I'm a good pal of Jim Beam. Not too sure about that johnny Walker character, though. OK, ok, I'll stop.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky...thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh woman of the 60+ comments:
ReplyDeleteThe colors hover at both ends of the spectrum (red + purple) of light. We are in there, somewhere in the middle.
You one is far north is the last light is fading at 10pm!
Wow, you really did get all the rainbow colors into your sherbet dip, Baboosh. Splendiferous Sky Watch!

Very striking...the colors we get in the skies depends some on the dirt and other junk in the air. These colors were common when we were in Colorado last September.
