We've had variety of skies here in Seattle the past couple of weeks that's for sure. All lovely, different and a part of winter in the northwest. The following shots I caught about fifteen minutes ago. We had dawn all over the sky -- east, west, north, south! It was breathtaking!

You had pink wonders floating all over the place. You are so lucky! It´s always a great feeling when the stuff is all fresh and it was catched just minutes ago. Like fresh fish, sort of.

It's just magical to look at. Breathtaking if you ask me.

Arija said...

Isn't it wonderful when God decides to paint on the whole canvas?
Both extremes of weather produce similar effects, is it that they were created by the same hand?

Lovely shots Sylvia, at least you did not have to get up at five oçlock for yours.

Hugs, Arija.

Amazing that your sunrise colors could be seen in every direction. I like the shots where the clouds are in long strokes and short dabs.

Owlfarmer said...

It was so cold here this morning that I stayed snug in bed and nearly missed the sunrise. I'm always amused by the fact that your skies (and my son's) frequently overlap with ours, despite the different latitudes and climates. Alas, I didn't have the camera out, but yours were better anyway. Thanks again for sharing them with us.

Trish ~ ♥ ~ said...

a fire sky,

toby said...

Gorgeous! Actually, our posts have a similar color scheme this week :)

Hildred said...

Breathtaking, - a wonderful description. A truly awesome sight when the whole bowl of the heavens is lit with the morning sunrise. Thank you for sharing it.

Tara R. said...

These are gorgeous. With skies like that, with 360-deg. beauty, I would make myself dizzy turning around and around to see everything. Lovely set.

Lots of beautiful skies this week, and yours are particularly lovely and much more pink than most of the others.

Happy Skywatch!

A gorgeous day is announcing by you, just like your photos. Admiring this beautiful sky at daybreak and taking photos is a wonderful beginning of the day.
Have a nice weekend!

Terrebel said...

Call me a girl but I love this pink! ;-) Thanks for showing us how wonderfully beautiful the world can be. Even if these colours are caused by pollution they're still great!
