Pretty sunset lights
Frosty warmth of fading day
Fires just burn inside

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
Autumn is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter.
Autumn whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key.
~ 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)

Beautiful sunset photos!~kbear
I love the light in these, Gemma. Magical! Perfect for a glass of wine in front of a fire.
These are great Gemma. Love that first photo with all that light hitting the rail. Have a great day.
Something about the silver colors of a sunset are beautiful. Wonderful shots. =)
I love those glowing clouds, absolutely beautiful shots!
Beautiful crisp clear winter's golden light. The northern hemisphere winter is so different.
It's shades of pink and blue sky watch day. So many pictures of this beautiful combination of colors!
Very nice photos ... thanks for sharing them~

Loved your poem - the pink clouds remind me of rabbits. (Maybe hopping to the end of day?)
Great sunset shots.

Hi Gemma, love your seasonal quote. First one I read was Autumn; now it's about Winter. Great thoughts to ponder. We are now into the winter chills without a heater in my wee home.
Anyway, I love the effect of the last sun effect on the afternoon clouds, the Prism of twilight beauty!
Gud' day from Sydney!

Something for you here too because you're special.
Gemma's Sunset in my blog comments
great catch! God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be..... Mine's up too hope you can drop by... Have a great weekend!
Gorgeous shots! Glorious colors and I love your quote! Happy SWF!
Enjoy your weekend!
What a view...would love to sit and visit with you on your veranda and talk of the sea and the sunsets...or perhaps a sepia kookaburra.
Think I'll sit on the porch swing for a spell tonight and enjoy the sounds of the frogs in the ditches...that glorious summer serenade...moving so swiftly by.
Have a wonderful weekend, see ya at SSS friend!

I love the little white clouds sailing by. Nice pics and lovely words.
Ahhhh, Gemma, visiting your sky-view today was such a nice experience: the outstanding photos, music and poetry all made me smile.
Thanks!
Winter has as many beauties as all the other seasons. Beuatiful colours in your photos.
Your pictures are beautiful. I have place in my heart for sunsets. I look at as the sun is sending fireworks as it moves on the evening. Thank for sharing such neat photos.
So beautiful ! and I like the ones that include structures too, they frame that wonderful sky.
Spectacular captures of the sunset. The light on the side of the foot bridge or walkway is stunning.
