I wanted to photograph some towering cumulonimbus clouds but ended up with a bonus.
Just as I was setting up, a flock of honkers started to fly past one of the clouds, a lovely counterpoint, I thought.
They were moving very quickly but I was able to get a few pictures.
Happy Tuesday.
A day may be grey and rainy …
… but once the sun pushes through …
… the colours emerge …
… to remind us that …
… even when all seems dark, the sun is still there …
… and will return.
Happy Monday.
Here are some varied summer evening-sky scenes to remember as this lovely season begins to disappear into autumn.
A blue hour with moon …
… a silhouetted mountain …
… an overcast sunset …
… and sunset-reflected clouds …
… together with a lovely view of evening Rocky Mountains …
… are images to take with us as summer unwinds.
Happy Sunday.
We have been getting lots of thunderstorm warnings recently and certainly they have been all around us with their distant rumbling and even their high winds and rains, but nothing directly up until now. The skies they produce however can be quite amazing as they roil past us. It’s worth noting that I haven’t made any adjustments to the colour of these photos; this is just as the camera (and I) saw those clouds.
The sunset reflects off the white cumulus features of these water-laden clouds …
… spreading an almost eerie glow throughout the whole area …
… that briefly intensified as more towering cumulonimbus clouds moved in. An oddly beautiful sight, but one to be respected.
Happy Monday.
An overcast evening sky …
… with a sliver of setting sun …
… highlights a boat racing for home.
Happy Saturday.
Evening begins with soft, quiet light …
… that grows deeper and redder, chasing away the blue yonder of day …
… as the sun continues to disappear …
… until finally, the sky is bathed in fiery summer orange.
Happy Tuesday.
… after a rain storm …
… the sun re-entering …
… once the clouds have cleared.
Happy Saturday.
Happy Thursday.
About three hours east of Revelstoke, British Columbia, is Banff National Park and Banff townsite.
It’s one of the gems of Canada’s national park system …
… and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed every one of our visits.
Happy Wednesday.
I love fireworks and the city put on a good show out over the lake for Canada Day. The weather was perfect and there were lots of boats …
… and people on the beach …
… to see this …
… and this …
… and this, too …
…followed by a fantastic grand finale.
Happy Thursday. 🎇
