Sunset – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Spring Sky

Cumulus clouds gilded orange and gold by the setting sun appeared on the western horizon in a seasonal right of passage. As the glow faded and the sky darkened, distant flashes of lightning from the towering clouds announced the return of spring’s subtropical weather. #sunset #cumulus #tropical #spring

Plain to C

Sunset through the window shed light on just how simple it is to play the C cord on the ukulele. A finger at the third fret lets the ukulele sing out that cord when all the strings are gently strummed. #ukulele #ccord #strings #sunset

Evening Embers

Clouds from a warm front brought a brief winter respite and glowed in the evening sky like embers in a wood-burning stove. #clouds #evening #embers #sunset

Clouds and showers alternating with fleeting sunshine dampened the day until sunset. As the sun lowered towards the horizon it set the clouds ablaze in a way that made me think of the glowing lava flows that built this island eons ago. I could not help but wonder that such a hellish beginning could leadContinue reading “Fire in the Sky”

Painted Sky

The setting sun set the sky ablaze with colors to rival the foliage below. Mount Otemanu seemed to wear the clouds like a wreath as if it, like the person below, was captivated by the scene. #sunset #treehouse #otemanu #borabora
