Skywatch # 87

Gothic

Back with a very moody, brooding, Manx Gothic sky. I'm lucky enough to live on a weird little island that weaves a lot of fairy magic to produce these natural, pure colours. So, rather than tell you of the freakiness that happens here on a daily basis like I normally do I'll let the image tell the story. Looks like Mordor to me, but then again, I would think that living here. I know the darkside of this island.....

MY DEEP PURPLE GOTHIC SKY - SKYWATCH


Killing Moon amid a Purple Haze




Dontcha' just love those black lace fingerless gloved tree branches cupping and encircling the purple velvet cloak. Well what do you see. Anyone who has stopped by knows I like the colour purple. In fact purple, black, red. Any deep colour. I don't do pastels. Unfortunately here I am surrounded by yellows and pale blues as you have seen before. It's not often I get the opportunity to splurge on the violets, scarlets and deepest darkest black here but this sky presented this perfect Gothic dream scape complete with a pearl set in the velvet cloak(Ok It's a crescent moon but use your illusion) ready for me to capture. The nature reserve as you have never seen it before on my skywatch. I'm sure(click the purple words) here of Manx legend and would feel at home here along with the vampires. Yes vampires. No not vampire bats. Apparently there is a Vampire Hunter on the island. No not Buffy. This one is more your mature variety and genuinely believes that some of the island inhabitants are actually vampires in disguise. Well there are definitely bloodsuckers here, they work in the finance industry. Meaow!



My purple prose will cease, my inner Goth( former actually you can still see the evidence) has been sated. It won't be for everyone but this is one of my favourites skywatch images I have shown you. Thank you for indulging my passion. True colours shining through, but people are strange and your doors of perception may be leading in another direction down a yellow brick road instead. So excuse me while I kiss the sky but I am sucker for a purple haze.


I expect to see Donnie Darko's white rabbit any day soon, possibly surfing the ninth wave in red shoes.
