This was taken just as the sun was setting a few nights ago. Within a matter of minutes the optimistic little patch of gold gave up the battle and disappeared completely, engulfed like the rest of the sky in dense rain laden clouds. I really enjoy that fleeting moment just before it buckets down when the light magically touches anything white in the surrounding area and makes it 'glow'..... Happy skywatch Friday.....!! ps it's a holiday in Perth today, the Queen's in town.....
Gorgeous colors. Wish you a nice weekend, dear Perth!
ReplyDeleteBye bye from Italy.
Reakwater.
ReplyDeleteAll the colours look lovely even the rain clouds!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect time of day for photography and you were in the right place at the right time and I just love this picture...it's full of light and there's a sense of happiness about it and one looks at it and feels that all is right with the world.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
That gold is in the rocks in the foreground as well...brings your eye right in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky and your description was so eloquent.
ReplyDeleteHello, PerthDailyPhoto.
ReplyDeleteThe excellent and lovely work.
The season of colored leaves, heartwarming atmosphere
The prayer for all peace.

Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen is in town? That's a big deal. Prince Harry is in a small town in the Arizona desert getting helicopter training, and that is a big deal here in Arizona, even for us people who are "ex-Empire," which is a term I had never heard until we visited New Zealand and a lady working in a store referred to our group of Americans in that way.
ReplyDeletehello downunder!

What a stunning palette of color! It would be impossible to count the shades of blue.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen? When I was in Vegas, President Obama's entourage took up the top 6 floors of the Bellagio Hotel... We did not get a holiday.

ReplyDeleteSay hello to Queenie for me. I love those brief moments just before or just after rain. I always want them to last longer - and through photos they can.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Top shot.

The queen arrives and it rains, typical British!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful moment, the last ligth, I like it too.
ReplyDeleteThere was the golden ligth, you, your camera...and your eyes!!!!Take care, Grace. Greetings...
Hi Grace...re your question about Halloween: No, we are too old to celebrate Halloween! Plus, we live in a 55 + gated community and there are no small children here so we no longer stock up on candy. Which is probably a good thing. That way I don't eat it all before Halloween and have to run out to buy more at the last minute!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun time!
I like this shot. It is very sharp with great textures and colors.

Yes - that split second is wonderful. Have you ever seen 'the green flash' at sunset? It's one of Mother Nature's little wonders. Enjoy your holiday!
ReplyDeleteOh Gracie, that sky is delicious!
