I am taking a small vacation from the website. I am on break and don't get them often. Don't worry! I'll be back before you know it.

Yes. And I KNOW! Both these pictures are the same sunset, I took them about 10 minutes apart. It's what I have always talked about in this blog, clouds change shapes and colors so rapidly it is truly amazing. I am glad I finally did something like this. I could say more but I wont. Enjoy.

Do you see it? It's right in the middle of the picture. The heart that belongs to the sky. And it's broken? Why! Who did this to you sky? Was it the Sun? Just give me the word and i'll finish the job. Dont be sad! Seriously, here have a cookie. And remember Sky -- tomorrow is always another day.


PS - I am thinking about starting a little game on this site where I subtly name things I see in the picture into the labels of the post. I wont really talk about the labels but you can debate with yourself if you see them or not. Or even feel free to comment if you see something I didn't.

This color formation is not uncommon for sunrises over here, and after a few minutes the clouds turn to their stereotypical white for the rest of the day. But what intrigues me is what causes some to be blue and others to be white during the sunrise? Is it density? Is it temperature? Is it something else the world may never know? possibly.

I really like the cloud formation on this one. You know how in cartoons you see a Greek good blowing and a gust of wind blows out similar to the formation above? it's a stretch but thats what I imagine when I see this picture. Sorry -- there is nothing you can do about it. I already committed it to memory.

Just another sunset to be. For some reason I dont feel the same way about clouds when they are average and colorless -- like in this picture. Color and a shapes are what keeps me interesed in staring at the sky for minutes at a time. But it's ok, i'll be fine.

Prehistoric looking right? Sure, why not. You associate things to what you are familiar with and have experienced. This sunset reminds me of a movie I watched when I was younger called The Land Before Time which is about dinosaurs. The cloud formation and the mountains on the distant horizon give it that oh-so stereotypical prehistoric sunset look.

It surprised me at how varied the shades came out on this one. Normally you don't expect to see such a wide use of brights and darks in the sky. Every inch is interesting because you dont see any stereotypical shapes or even colors. Clouds 1, Me 0.

These clouds look like they mean business, they just look pure evil. The reason the colors came out different on both sides is actually due to a mistake on my part, I didn't match the exposure with the multiple shots. But I still think the picture came out good, in an evil way of course.

Yes you read correctly, I said Moonset. This particular sunrise was unique because the Moon had not gone away yet. Usually it is gone by the time the sun is coming up. I can almost see the colors of the clouds moving over the horizon when I keep staring at this picture. It seems everything was perfectly in place for it to be taken.

Bonus: Here is a wallpaper version, if you are into that sort of thing.
