Sky Watch #21


DSCF0296, originally uploaded by airam94564.

It's Skywatch time again. Wanna join this wonderful meme? Or simply view more sky watch entries from all over the globe, click here.

For today's entry, I am posting a photo from my dear hubby's archives. This was taken in Point Isabel, one of our favorite walking parks. This is also a dog park. People come here to walk, walk their dogs, bike, run, or simply to wait by the bay for glorious sunsets.

What a beautiful flare! The hill almost went translucent! Glorious indeed!

Dewdrop said...

Seems well worth the wait... Wow! Awesome capture by your hubby. I love the solar halo. I love the many layers of sun. It looks almost like a jawbreaker... I know, I know... not very scientific!

Bradley Myers said...

Good capture, the colors are fantastic, watch out for the dog poo.

Lovely - especially sun just sinking behind the horizon. Glad there are some birds in there too - adds to the life. Great post.

There's so much I like about this photo - the two birds just visible near the skyline, the rings of light spreading out around the sun, and the purple of the distant mountains.

Well done.
