Sky Watch Friday - Fire in the Sky


I took these photos late one afternoon quite awhile ago, when we were walking on the beach down in front of our house.

The colours haven't been enhanced - this was exactly how it looked.



Pop over and check out the other Sky Watch posts here.

    Crikey, that's just too magnificent for words.

    One minute after midnight.
    Don't forget, a girl needs her beauty sleep, blogging is such a trap, ain't it.

    Fabulous! I know you hate it when the internet goes down there, but at least you can sit and gawk at the amazing sky. I just want to sit and stare at your photos on my computer really really hand and try to magically transport myself there!

    These are very intruiging, Jules. I think it is the little island that adds the mystery. A silhouette will do it every time for me.

    Jules that sky is nothing short of amazing! Beautiful my dear girl.

    Thank you so much for the well wishes. I think every tropical island has some sort of connection. There are always so many similarities, even if there are no cultural or historical connections at all.

    One of the reasons I stopped was because I just couldn't find time to post, answer the comments and go visiting throughout the CDP community! :-) I will be visiting more regularly now. I've missed out on so many of your pictures that I now have to go back through the archives!

    Talk about a sunset walk. If that doesn't soothe the soul, then the soul can't be soothed.
