Skald and Palmi took polar and I up to the top of a hill not too far from where they live to catch the sun going down.... it was close to midnight and by the time the sun finally went down, it was about 12:30pm.  I just loved how the clouds also hung and seemed to curl around the mountains.  Polar said it was called a 'tablecloth' in the U.K.  It sure was pretty, I would call it a blanket!  Hope you enjoy these

    Oh Quiet I was with you and I know what a beautiful night it was. You are an artist with the camera and I do love so much the picture with the whole in the sky where the sun peeps through.

    These photos are wonderful.  I especially like the first one but any one of them would make great desktop images.

    skald - Your pictures of this sunset are just as stunning!  And, after all you were the one that spotted the peep hole in the clouds!  :-)

    Soaring - I really like the first one too, and I am sure it will end up on my desktop!  Thanks for stopping by.

    destiny - It was such a spectacular sunset.. and it was so very late at night!  Something I will long remember with much fondness.

    secret - hello, good to see you.  Thanks for following along on our great adventure! I am having such a great time.

    Quiet, I cannot choose a favorite.  Everyone of them have their own voice.  They speak of beauty and mystery and life itself to me.  You shoot a mean lens!

    Now I am truly being a jealous b.....ha..I would love to see that sunset!  That first one is a knockout...too beautiful for words. I would be in awe so deep that skald would have had to pull me physically away.   I can see how the clouds look like they might be "hanging" as you said.  Nice photos!

    The first shot is awesome. I really like the second one too. It looks like the clouds are taking over one another.

    Enjoyed the pics.  You ladies are really staying up late !  But then these are sights you don't get to see everyday.
  • truthsayer said on Jul 02, 2008....
    Wow.  No other words for it...just, wow.

    botoni - it isnĀ“t hard to get such nice pics when the view in front of the lens is so beautiful.  Thanks.

    MeMy - hi ya girl, good to see ya.  yes it is beautiful here.

    wombie - believe it, it was hard for skald and palmi to pull me off the hill as well.  I was mesmerized by those clouds on the mountain as well.

    vacant - yes like I said to wombie, the clouds hanging on the mountain were something to see.

    woman - thanks.  good to see you.

    Rolling - I am still keeping an eye out for you here too!  thanks.

    queenie - hi! yes it is very beautiful here.

    scipio - it is easy to stay up late here as it is so light out for ever it seems.  I would like that at home too.

    truth - yes wow describes it pretty well in itself!

    That is something I have yet to see. But I would love to have that much evening light to play around with.
  • quietone said on Jul 05, 2008....
    hotaka ~ I would have loved to had my other camera with me to capture the clouds on the Mts here.  It really was quite a sight.  It was quite a trip altogether!  :) thanks
