The Scarlet Skies

 

I was in my room when I noticed everything became a bright red, i looked around and then outside and saw this sky. It is the first time I have ever seen anything like it. So rich and full of colors, every picture I took came out differently.

The Orange Gray Sky

My apologies for a lack of information on the previous pictures, we had a hurricane come through recently and my auto post updated the website. Thanks for the comments on the previous posts, they are much appreciated. Expect more images in the future.

An Awesome Sunset

Why call it awesome? Well, why not... The formation and color of the clouds are wonderful from foreground to background. There is that light pink near the sun which you know will just spray out when the it shines a little bit lower. And the mountain, the mountain doesn't seem as intimidating when it leaves you in wonder.

A Normal Sunrise

When I try and bring up the subject of the sky with people this is what they have in their mind. It seems no one else notices what I see, I see all the previous pictures I posted of sunrises. The beautiful cascade of colors. The emotions and memories of previous years that they remind me of. I guess it's just one of those things you notice -- or you dont.

The Blue Glow

I absolutely love the way the sky is glowing in this picture. This gives me that cold winter's morning type of feeling which is my favorite time of year.

The Layered Fire

So for a sunset to look like this a few things have to happen. One is that the sun itself has to be covered up by clouds so it cant be seen. And another is to have clouds above it, so they reflect its rays. Its interesting that its so specific for this formation to occur but we find it occuring by random. It almost looks supernatural.

Up Ahead

So you might have noticed there were no pictures posted for about a month and a half. Vacation and school kept me busy. And also the thing with taking pictures of the sky is you only really have 3 chances a day. sunrise, afternoon, and sunset. so taking pictures needs time and patience because not everyday is as wonderful as the previous, some days are gorgeous and others just plain dull. It's part of the excitement you get when waking up, to see how the clouds are feeling that particular day.

Expect updates soon and weekly.

New Updates Soon

Sorry for the lack of updates, stick around for some new pictures relatively soon.
Be sure to subsribe to the RSS feed for updates.

The Soft Blues

Two blue postings in a row, I know. I really like the way the clouds seem to be tumbling off of each other in this one.

The Blue Sea

I love this picture so much. I dont want to ruin it by giving my thoughts on it. How about you share yours?

Appreciation

Just pause for a minute. Enlarge the image and imagine. Imagine the clouds moving ever so slowly. Imagine the trees waving as the wind brushes against them. Imagine the birds chirping to the sounds of the ocean waves. Imagine how much you can appreciate something so small, so free, so calming.

The Fractal Sky

Not often can one say the sky is so abstract. It is usually round and soft and smooth, never sharp and edgy. Those few instances can make you truly say the sky is so interesting. It never gives up and day by day it still manages to surprise you.

Beautiful

Sometimes as you are holding up the camera getting ready for the shot you just stop to stare. For some reason the image is so striking you have no words to describe it. To some this sky might seem average, but even if it is average -- the thought of it being beautiful must cross ones mind.

PS - I cant wait to show you guys the pictures I have coming in the next few weeks :).

Metaphors and Meanings

I always find it interesting to see a bright sky in the background with strong dark clouds in the foreground. Is the former conquering the latter? and is it saying anything about that particular day?

Red, White and Blue

Ok so it's more like Pink, White, and Blue but in all fairness I could have used photoshop to edit it and I didn't.

Internet Down

Sorry for the major lack of updates recently. My schedule is above and beyond crazy and also the internet is down in my apartment. Be back soon, hopefully.

The Rejects - Volume 1

This is a rather unusual post because the panoramas I will be showing you never made the cut. Due to various reasons I decided to not post them. I'd like to do this every once in a while to at least share some insight in the thought process I go through for this blog.

This picture was on the verge of making it when I decided it was just too much off center, otherwise it is a very nice picture where the clouds are like artistic brush strokes.

This picture although simple and not much to show means so much to me. Those clouds are always hovering over the mountain and are screaming to be compared to life and it's obstacles. Honestly, on a day when the clouds are not over the mountain I worry. I didn't like the ground level in this one.

This picture I was planning on posting for a friend Miri who's blog is actually on the right side under "other blogs like mine". I never really got around to posting it, the clouds are just not as I like.

I know this one looks hideous, but it's the content I wanted to share the most. Notice those streams coming out from the clouds on the left? That's rain. In the ocean. Off in the distance. Cool right?

The tree's take up too much of this otherwise interesting panorama.
