December Sunrises

 

As we came in to December some beautiful sunrises were to be had

 

On the 11th I let out or dog and could not help but see this beautiful sky

 

A wider view only showed more beauty 

 

From the bedroom a superb sunrise

The winter solstice was the day before and on the next day the 22nd I heard on the radio of a red sky well I only had to open the shutters and there it was 

Nearby a star shone well the lit up star on the lamppost where they had been cheeky and strung lights

Zooming back out the sky was that colour when the sun is peeking it's head up painting the sky with colour

Go wide and a panoramic of the sky

Zoom in a little to show the beauty of the sunrise.

That's it from me this year, hopefully I will return in the new year with more sunrises

Till then may I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year

Happy Skywatch

More Christmas Lights

 

Tonight I thought I would pop up another part of the village to see the lights, it was worth it. 

 

Along the road I was visiting this was in one garden

The retired teachers garden with the display cabinet all lit up

 

 

Just along the road a little

This does not look so good a it is on my phone but if you see it for real it looks quite magical

Just out of sight

Wider view along the road a little

The retired teachers front garden

and that is a view up the road I had been along

This one is on a corner near where I lived as a kid.

There were quite a few people walking around the village looking at the lights enjoying them.

Hope you did to

Merry Christmas

Evening Star

 

A couple of weeks ago on evening  I looked out the kitchen window and noticed the evening star and a crescent moon, no need to say what I did next

Up to the bathroom window for a couple of photos with my phone

 Zooming in you could see the star and the moon clearer though I little grainy but really what do you expect using a phone on full zoom

Lets try it again with a camera

 I only used the medium zoom I had with this which was 230mm but it shows the moon sharper

Change over to portrait mode

and crop it a little, Could have been a little closer but beggars can't be choosers

Early Morning Sky

 

Taken back in November, I was getting a cup of tea in the  and looked out to see a beautiful cold morning as the sun came up.

The day before I went out after lunch and took this shot across the fields towards the old Hospital

Next morning was cold and frosty and the sun was coming up making the clouds glow

Tinged in pink

As I went back in the moon looked down

Happy Skywatch

Red Sky at Night

 

 The sky's in November always seem to be some of the best you see during the year and one evening I was putting some rubbish in the bin and looking right at me was this beautiful sky

Well only one thing to do and that was run upstairs and get some photos of the sunset out of the bathroom window

The colour graded from blue to red

A panoramic showed most of the sky on show

Finally zooming in a little to show the fiery part in the distance

Happy Skywatch

Morning Dog Walk

 

A couple of weeks ago I was in Wales for a couple of days and on the saturated morning took our dog out fro a walk early in the morning along with my phone just in case 

A good job I did take my phone because looking back I saw the sun making its presents known

Making the clouds shine

Turning around the clouds were orange along the edge

The rock in the lake making a good subject with the still water and sky behind

The morning looks beautiful

looking down the lake from the path where we walked

The hills behind silhouetted

The hill in the distance lit by the sun

The sheep grazing with mist rising in the valley

Turning back I noticed the sky reflecting in the lake

The hill in the lake as well

The sky and hills mirrored in the lake.

I hope you have enjoyed the photos as much a I did taking them. If you cannot post a reply I will attainder, I'm having problems myself with Firefox though it does seem OK with MS Edge

Happy Skywatch
