Skies like lava flow...

in #photography5 years ago (edited)

Yup... that's exactly it!

And it was just earlier this evening! I love love amazing skies like this!!

You can never tell when a scene like this will appear... The earlier skies were normal, no indication at all we were gonna get a showtime like this!

Then.... all of a sudden.... SHOWTIME!

You better be ready for this...
I keep my camera at arm's length, just in case
It has paid off many a-time too

As mentioned, suddenly... the sun's rays crept upwards...
Onto the clouds in the sky
And the whole portion of sky was this colour
Red and orange, like flames... or lava flow lighted up!

Everything all around glowed red, orange too!
I zoom in on this part of the sky as the blue sky behind provided a great contrast
Like flickering flames blown sideways...
It stayed just awhile....
In less than 10 mins, it was all gone

WOW those skies are amazing, I saw some colors starting for sunrise int he distance this morning, but it was while I was waiting for my train so I could not get any photos of it

Thank you, JJ! They were great... One of those.... stupendous ones!
I don't get the correct view for sunrise so don't get to shoot much of it... Sunsets are my thing! :)
Pity you couldn't get the sunrise...

Maybe this weekend I can catch both a sunrise and sunset we have beaches good for one or the other here :)

Cool... I'll watch out for them... :)

Well All depends onthe weather and how both me and my wife are feeling but fingers crossed :)

Those are exquisite images @ackhoo, I am envious of waking up to skies like that.
Upvoted and resteemed.

Haha, noooo, I don't get to wake up to these, it's sundown that I get to enjoy...
But I am most fortunate and grateful for it! :)

Oh boy! First people play "the floor is lava" and now people will start playing "the sky is lava".... what's next? Humans are lava?! hahaha

Lol.... no wayyy! For me, it's always the sky... 😉
