Nice relaxing sunset/sky pics
 

Sunday was such a nice day out. Later after Sam went home, I did some laundry and took some pics! The sky was so pretty, and there were some unusual shaped clouds. Just sharing, no constructive criticism needed. :)

One of the views from my deck:

This was taken looking straight up. Strange, straight clouds:

I liked the shapes and colors of these clouds:

these are lovely. I especially like the second one...looks like the splitting of a pearl. if there were such a thing.

Yeah, that's an interesting way of looking at it. I also thought of it as the clouds/gasses of a planet, or just the sky splitting open.

they are all very beautiful. I like them very much. :)

The third picture really has my attention, though they're all lovely.

The area around the sun in the third picture expresses so much energy, and that energy creates a barrier of contrast between the dark clouds above and the darker houses below. There's something balanced about it. Great job!

Nice images, Sue.

I like the first one best. The strong colors of the apartments and the white outlines of the windows compliment the sky.

dan

All were very good but the last one was exceptional.

I think I like the one with the church best.

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

i really do like the last one. something about dark clouds that i find intruiging

Thanks for the compliments everyone :) I've got 2 more from today and one from last week I'd like to share.

The white blur you see in the sky was an airplane. I liked the silhouette of the church and the sky's colors here.

An explosion behind the mountains:

I guess I'm just a fan of clouds? The very bottom part of these clouds reminded me of a flock of birds for some reason:

nice stuff sue! keep 'em coming

i took sunset pics the other day taht looked amazing....looked around for a sunset thread..is there one around?

i'd love to have a thread going where people share their sunsets.

Beautuful shots sue, very nice.


A sunset thread. Yes.
We need a good title.
Perhaps we could call it 'Sunset Boulevarde.'

These are nice. I remember when I first found out about how clouds can classified into types and all the interesting names they had.

Cumulonimbus, Nimbostratus, Cirrus.

I like clouds too :)

I wonder what those long ones are called...

They are called lenticular clouds, and are very interesting clouds indeed. They get me excited - years ago when I flew gliders, the sight of wave clouds on the lee side of my mountains meant I would soon be riding nature's up elevator. Got a bit past 16,000 once before the lack of onboard oxygen forced a descent.

I love sky photos; here's a few of my own:

If you look closely at that last one, you can spot the moon!

Nice photos! But why are some photos blurred? Because it is zoomed? But I like the pictures, Very relaxing.. Good job!

A few from the lake house this weekend.

Those are astounding! :eek:

This is actually a sunrise pic, but why quibble?
