Our skies were pretty much in keeping with this time of year -- more gray than color, more plain and ordinary, but then that is what makes the flaming skies all the more appreciated when they do put in an appearance. Still, there's something very peaceful about the skies I caught last evening. Click to embiggen and see more detail.
“Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Lord, I have loved Your sky,
Be it said against or for me,
Have loved it clear and high,
Or low and stormy
-Robert Frost (1874–1963)
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky. Rabindranath Tagore
“The Sky is the daily bread of the imagination” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.” John Lubbock

Beautiful skies, Sylvia. As usual, you have found wonderful words to go with them.
ReplyDeleteThe Getty is not reason enough to endure Los Angeles but if fate takes you to LA I'm sure you would enjoy the museum and grounds.
Fantastic capture of the beautiful sky, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Sylvia: Those certainly are beautiful skies out in the Pacific NW.
ReplyDeleteI knew I could count on you for some great skies.. Blue and White forget the Gray
ReplyDeleteGray is beautiful. With a soft tough of the sun's rays, makes it even more glorious!
ReplyDeleteLovely quotes to go with your photos.
Lovely skies this week Sylvia, very subtle.
ReplyDeleteNice skies.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend, Ev
Wonderful skies - I love your first photo where it looks as though the colour has been dragged across gently.

A super, super variety of LOVELY skies!
ReplyDeleteI love Robert Frost and that quote is perfect for all of us I think! :)
Mine’s here: Carletta’s Captures.
Some grey clouds there, Sylvia, but much blue sky peeking through...and some fun cloud formations. Much more fun than our grey, grey and more grey.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy how each image varies just that little in the intensity of its luminosity, Sylvia.
ReplyDeletethat's a wonderful set of sunset photos Sylvia . i most especially liked the first photo.
ReplyDeleteSylvia, I like your skies. I see some blue mixed in with those clouds. The first shot is pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think it is because you find beauty in your photos that they are so beautiful to behold. Besides being lovely in their own right!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky as usually here:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Greetings

Nice captures and quotes!
ReplyDeleteYou caught some lovely skies again.
ReplyDeleteThese are all different, although I think they were all taken from the same vantage point. Thanks for the visit!
ReplyDeleteYou remember the hymn, "For the beauty of the skies." They don't seem to sing them these days. Some of the clouds looks like outward stroke of the paint brush.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic Sylvia, but what else would we expect from you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best
