More Sunsets and a Pre-Henri Sky #SkywatchFriday

 Continuing the after sunset I started to show last Friday, because it was so beautiful.

This was an after sunset I nearly missed.  In fact, I missed the sunset, and it was only a a chance glance out a window that alerted me to what was going on.

 Standing on a spot where I watch local sunsets.

Day is done.

The sun's final farewell before it...well, no, it doesn't ever sleep.

This final picture was taken with my iPhone zoom feature (which isn't too great). You can barely see reflection of the colors (lower middle) in some water.

But the weather was going to turn again with the tropical storm Henri hitting our area  We were so fortunate - the storm moved to the east and we were spared most of the heavy rains forecast to hit our area.

But we still got some interesting skies on August 21 as Henri was approaching.  

This past week, we've had (hopefully) the last heat wave of the year.  

Have a wonderful weekend.

Joining Yogi and other sky watchers for #SkywatchFriday.

  8. I love your skies. Sunsets are a split second thing. I am still learning that with my drone.

  9. I haven't followed Henri but I know he made landfall in Rhode Island. Tropical storms and hurricanes do a lot of damage. I'm glad you were to West of it all. The west side is always milder.

    Great pictures. I am a huge sky watcher too.

  12. It's scenes like that that make me wish I could paint. I would want to reproduce those colors in some way.

    Last heat wave of the year? Lucky. We can expect to have heat through at least October. But we had a fairly mild summer, so we're probably due.
