Late this afternoon I looked out to the east, and there was this skein of pink colour.But by the time I had my camera round my neck, and walked to the back garden, it had started to fade. Two minutes later I looked to the West, and the sky was so red.It was darker than this, but for such a short time.
This is taken from our front lawn, the tall trees are in our place, and give good shelter from the North-west winds.Pine, Macrocarpa, Poplar, Blue-gum and Tasmanian Blackwood. Two more minutes and all was faded to grey.
Quotation of the day, from Lord Alfred Tennyson,
dedicated to my cousin Ann,1938-2012
“ Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,when I put out to sea”

Great photos. Sunsets are so fleeting, forever changing second by second.

Thanks, I didn't have the settings quite right, and the sky was a deeper colour than in the pics.Fleeting moments, so true. Cheers from Jean.
Very nice pictures...dot bother the settings, great job!!
Gorgeous sky shots! I like the soft color. The last photo is fantastic! Nicely done!
Thanks Brian, but I needed to put in the words " Courtesy of the Internet" for the evening star photo. I searched the net for a suitable photo , I felt it a fitting farewell for my cousin who had passed away that week. I must be more careful to do this in future.Your photos are superb, and I am humbled to get a comment from you on my blog, so very many thanks again. Cheers from Jean.
