Sunset 5 May 2013

So far, this is the only sunset shot I managed to get. After some really great weather, we have a cold snap with gray skies. Not fun, but that’s Michigan weather for you. This sunset brought to mind lyrics from Nina Gordon’s 2000 song “Tonight and the Rest of My Life”:

Down to the earth I fell
With dripping wings
Heavy things won’t fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world

Sunset 30 April 2013

April ended with a beautiful sunset. It was that warm glowing orange and you could see the giant orb that is the sun reflecting on the clouds. The far shot caught a fading contrail blending into the clouds.

Orange skies remind me of desert sunsets. I’m not quite sure why as I’ve only ever seen desert sunsets in movies and pictures, but never personally.

Sunset 14 April 2013

I really liked the clouds during this sunset for some unknown reason. I also like how the darker blue gray clouds are slowly encircling the peachish pink left from the setting sun.

Calendar – May 2013

sunset

Ah, the month of May. It’s that inbetween month. Sometimes it’s very nice and spring-like and other times its a hot as hades summer month. You never know what you’re going to get with May in the state of Michigan. The calendar shot for this month was a beautiful sunset from my birthday last year (mid-May) which features a bird flying through the burnt orange sky. I thought it was pretty nice.

Evening Sky 27 March 2013

I did not manage to get the very odd looking sky that appeared before this great wooly blanket swept over the sky, but I think the dark clouds are rather interesting, too.
