Skywatch Friday: Twilight


Nothing spectacular. Just trees in twilight.

Mosey over to Sky Watch Friday for more sky pictures!

44 wandering stars:

Muppet Soul said...

nothing spectacular - are you kidding? That looks like a painting.

Deeptesh said...

I loved the odd geometry here.And it is correct according to the grammar of photography as you have kept the main object to the right and not the centre.

Thinking deeper,is this a comparison of sorts by telling a story thru' different sizes?I love the way the trees get gradually smaller to create a receding effect.And interesting shapes in the background...like letters.What trees are those?

The Demigoddess said...

My only regret in city living and working nights is that I miss out on sights like this one. Thanks for posting. It's a lovely picture.

Today's Blah... said...

Well, this is spectacular sky even if you're saying it's not. :)

Mojo said...

Au contraire. The fact that you've gotten sunset -- more or less -- and kept it cool, without the hot flash of orange/yellow/red on the horizon is rather unique. And I like the line the trees make diagonally across the frame.

one buddhess said...

I love that tree against the blue blue sky...magnificent shot.

totomai said...

i love silhouettes. especially if its against the blue skies. :-)

Linnea W said...

Oh...but this scene is spectacular. I love those trees; they seem to be reaching in unison toward the unfolding sky...Enjoy SWF...

Indrani said...

Whoa! Lovely postcard shot!

Connie said...

I like all the colors of blue. Very nice picture.

Marie said...

Oh yes, it is spectacular!

You are a beauty and you are talented. It should not be hard for you to find your way with such blessings (I hope this makes sense, as English is not my mother tongue).

Randi said...

Tis is a wonderfully picture...i like the dark tree against the soft blue sky behind.

Daryl said...

Sort of like mine .. come see

Mariz said...

I love those shades of blue. Those trees worked perfectly as foreground. Beautiful shot!

Lilli & Nevada said...

Love your header line, it certainly does have some beautiful colors

RuneE said...

Well caught twilight with silhouettes.

Brent said...

I like it! Nice shot.

TCKK said...

I think it's spectacular. Love it.

insomniaclolita said...

This is gorgeous, I once saw a twilight sky where the color is pretty much velvet mixed with purple. That made me speechless.

Greg Dimitriadis said...

Beautiful twilight picture! Thanks for visiting Liege City Daily Photo. By the way, I don't think you should cut your hair!

Bryan said...

The great photos are the ones that take the normally unspectacular and make them much more. This is a great photo.

Avril said...

Oh but it's beautiful - all the fine bare branches against the deep blue. Thanks for your comment on my sunrise.

Aerie-el said...

Beautiful!
And fun blog :)

studio lolo said...

On the same wavelength ;)
I love this shot and the shade of blue. Twilight is so magical!

Naturegirl said...

Soon those trees will be filled w/ green! Love the blue in the sky!

Babooshka said...

Bare trees can be much more striking as full leaves as this proves.

Will said...

Beautiful sky! Interesting blog. I don't mean to be intrusive, but I would like to encourage you. It sounds as though you have had some struggles with a relationship in the past, but there are always others out with whom to build relationships-good relationships. God loves you and has someone for you.

Hilda said...

I love bare trees against almost all kinds of sky, and this is pretty!

Happy Sky Watching!

April said...

A very enchanting and beautiful photo!

2sweetnsaxy said...

Very pretty! What a great time of day. :-)

Cynthia said...

Gorgeous! Love the silhouette and I agree with a fellow commenter- it does look like a painting.

kspinning said...

The colors in this are great! Nice capture...

T and S said...

Trees in twilight is spectacular when composed well. And you have composed this extremely well

Taj_maan said...

Lovely! I'm really enjoying this SWF.

Marc said...

Pretty nice anyway!

SandyCarlson said...

Those clouds are lovely in that sky from which the sun seems to be slowing difting away.

NORWOOD UNLEASHED said...

I like the way the clouds scatter the evening sunset.
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Muppet - Does it really? Thanks!

Deeptesh - Cool, you know the photography tricks. I do too (as if you can't tell). It's called the law of thirds. Never place the object in the middle of the frame... I love the way you think. I have no idea what kind of trees they are.

The Demigoddess - This was a respite from music practice I went to when the sun was going down.

Today's Blah - Thank you. I guess it was spectacular enough for me to want to take the picture.

Mojo - I think the hot/reds would have been on the other side of the horizon, if not already gone.

One Buddhess - Thank you.

Totmai - Oh, silhouettes are great.

Linnea - Your pic reminds me of those trees :)

Indrani - Aw, thanks!

Connie - Blues and purples are some of my favorite sky colors. Probably why I like twilight so much.

Marie - Thanks, and I think it makes perfect sense. I will be blessed? Or am blessed? :)

Randi - Yep, can't go wrong with tree and sky.

Daryl - I had already commented on yours. :)

Mariz - Thanks. I was standing in a parking lot :D

Lilli - thank you

RuneE - Thanks!

Snapshutter said...

Nice contrast of the black trees against the blue sky. Thanks for visiting my blog.

floreta said...

Brent - Thank you for stopping by.

TCKK - Thank you!

Andhari - I'm constantly rendered speechless where I live. :) Such beauty here!

Greg - Thanks for the decision! I'm going ahead with it though. I can pull off several hairstyles so i'm not worried. Hair is just hair!

Bryan - Thank you for the high compliment. It's true and that's what I like about photography. Making the ordinary extraordinary.

Avril - You're welcome

Aerie-el - thank you!

studio lolo - agreed that it's magical!

naturegirl - yes, almost spring!

babooshka - i like bare trees more in photos.

Really Good shot :)

Elisabeth's bright side said...

Great picture and composition!
Thanks for stopping by :)

Errant Gosling said...

Looks great. I love the contracts of the winter tree against the spring sky.

Manz said...

I think nature captured beautifully like this is always spectacular!!

We should all be looking towards the trees (or any kind of nature) during twilight - better for your eyes than the computer monitor ;)
