sky in flames
playing with clouds
before night
There was a very unusual sunset earlier this week from the Sandringham cliffs. The usual yellow to red was suddenly diffused by the movement of a large cloud mass in the immediate foreground. I am not sure how that turned the distant colour around however this pink/red glow evolved . Maybe the rays hit the cloud in front of us reflecting back towards the distant clouds in turn changing what we were seeing. Jill commented that it was more like looking at a bushfire in the distance and I agree. This is the first time we have witnessed such a display. As I have said in other posts we never know what the sun, clouds and water will turn on for us on any evening.
This is amazing.. and yes extraordinary. Actually in these days we can see what we haven’t seen before in the sky, during sunrise or sunset time… You captured so beautifully by your camera and also by your words. Thank you, have a nice day dear Denis, Love, nia

Thanks Nia. I agree with you about seeing new imagery in sunsets, I don’t see sunrises because i try to sleep in.

At first glance I thought it was a bush fire. A great description in your haiku. That must have been something to see in person.

It would be very interesting to figure out just what was going on in the atmosphere:)

I think we know enough to be very concerned, maybe these sunsets are another consequence of global warming?

It could be Mordor, Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand, this cloud may have drifted over.
