Dramatic Sunset Skies October 15th, 2019

As I came out of Cracker Barrel after having supper on October 15th, I noticed the beauty in the skies and realized we were in for a gorgeous sunset, after a nice rain as well…I shot this one right there in the parking lot with my phone camera….

….and then drove up behind the restaurant, to the parking lot of Sunny Jim Bottomley City Park, to shoot it again with my phone….

…and then switched over to my Nikon Camera….

…but this story doesn`t end there, just as the sunset didn`t end there…I drove over to Walmart to do some shopping and when I came out…the sunset had morphed into an ever better one….

…simply….GORGEOUS !! 

 

Double Rainbow and Sunset March 13th

It rained pretty much all day long Wednesday March 13th, I had been checking the radar all afternoon and evening, the last time I checked it, rain showed up all the way west of us to Cuba…however the sky outside was telling a different story…I looked out the window about 6 pm and there was a beautiful orange glow starting to take over the skies…I grabbed my camera and walked outside to see a complete rainbow across the street from me and the other end back behind my house starting to form up. I drove up to the city park to see if I could get back away from it enough to capture the whole thing in a few photos or video, but only by video could I shoot the whole thing or at least come close…

with photos I was only able to shoot both ends, specially after it formed the second shadowing rainbow….

…and this yellow glow in between the beams was really strange, it was like a strong yellow filter slapped over the lens of my camera, and I wasn`t able to remove it even during editing of my images….once the double image formed, I drove over to the north side of I-44 and there, could only photograph the east half of the rainbow…

…and then it began to fade from the southern skies first…as they turned darker and the orange glow of the sunset took over with the beautiful pink clouds above…I drove back over to the city park and shot the sunset from there….
