Skywatch Friday - We're going on a deer hunt

We're going to catch a big one.
It's a beautiful day
We're not scare (well may be a little)
The day was the first coatless day of summer - very bright but hazy, making for nice silhouettes but very dull skies. Thanks the Warrens for a fun day and an even better night! On the way home we had this sky for company (took the mind off the hangover) - far more interesting and giving hope for more picnic weather days.
Fly around the world (in cyberspace - you won't be going anywhere in a plane locally here as thanks to an Icelandic volcano all flights are grounded - Tim is somewhere in Italy trying to get home by train, have a feeling we may never see him again!) and see lots of skies at Skywatch Friday.
Update - I'm wondering if the ash in the sky has helped with this sunset, taken a couple of minutes ago. Also had a travel update from Tim, he's now in France. Ferry booked for the morning, but Sea France don't allow foot passengers so he's going to have to get himself a push bike from somewhere!

  6. Particles in the sky definitely help create beautiful sunsets. One reason I take so many pretty sunset photos is because of pollution that moves from the south to my part of Ontario, Canada. At least SOME good comes from pollution. :)

  9. Hope Tim gets home soon! I am sure he has lots of company trying to get about with no air travel.
    Yes , That is a sunset through ash. The sky here in So Cal has this effect when A: Mt.St Helens erupted in 1980 B: When ever we have yearly brush fires ,wild fires ,forest fires and C: when it is very smoggy mid summer.
    Makes for lovely photos though!

    Oh yes, you would LOVE Geocaching! Get out with the kids and see some sites, find some treasures! You are likely going past some every day! A simple hand held GPSr is all you need!
    Have a great weekend!

  14. Great sunset. Probably due to the ash. We had a similar thing happen when we had bushfires close to the city.
