I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

That sunset is stunning!! I have no idea what it is that makes the sky looks as if it's bursting out golden flames behind the tree, but what a moment!!
I really think the sky is so dramatic with those colored rays moving out from behind that tree... it really does look like that tree is on fire or has some magical aura surrounding it.... an incredible series.
Great captures! wonderful sky.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
Visit my Sky Watch @ Now and Then
An interesting effect. Good capture.
Sydney - City and Suburbs
I say this is a wonderful place to be watching the sun set. Very dramatic colors, the orange and blues are in harmony.
Wonderful skies!
We trade you Autumn for spring!
Aloha-
What a lucky shot, don't you wonder how sometimes you are looking at just the right moment in time to see something so other-worldly and magical, you just want to share it with the world...me too, I guess this is what it's all about aye...
I'm with you, I'm leaving the chest au natural and painting most of the frames white. I just found the most glorious Victorian chest, with a small marble piece on the top, next to the hankie drawers...for $40.00, it's staying the way it is too, with it's dark varnished finish. Can't wait to get the new shop open...it's always fun, even if only open on the weekends...wish you were here!!! (or me there, I'm easy)...LOL...
See ya at SSS friend!

A beautiful sky accentuating those autumn branches!
Lovely Photos! I've visited your city back in 2002. It was shortly after my Mother died and just had to get away for a while. I'd like to go back someday. Have a good weekend - great blog.
Amazing photos! Love the way you framed it.
Wow, I can see an aura...
