Over the last two weeks, we’ve had changeable weather, resulting in some very colourful skies. Enjoy these photos of a mid afternoon rainbow, stormy sunset sky, and a ‘red sky in the morning’ sunrise.
Although faint, the rainbow is clearly visible through the tree.I was lucky to photograph this rainbow, which only lasted for a few minutes.The night following the rainbow, a clear sky produced a beautiful sunset.The pink-mauve of a clear night sunset is always inspiring as everything is bathed in a mauve glow.An orange glow, and strong wind produces spectacularly lit cloud banks.This photo was taken only seconds after the previous photo, and you can see how much the clouds have moved.This photo reminds me of the ‘Old Master’ oil paintings I see hanging in galleries.This morning the sky was clear, but this brilliant red sunrise foretold the clouds that would gather midday, and the strong stormy winds that followed..Looking in the opposite direction, the sky is still colourful, but less dramatic.I wish I could have capture the true colour of the sky. It was even redder than it appears in this photo.The glow of the sky reflects on the surface of the dam.
Lovely photos, thank you. Rainbows are so difficult to capture, your colors are exquisite. The trees are also beautiful.
Thank you! Yes, the rainbow was a bit elusive. I think I probably saw it just as it was fading. Given this, I was lucky to catch it at all.
