From our back yard we can see other houses, neighbour’s trees, lights at night from the local football oval. Nothing exciting really. Sometimes I dream of seeing a sun dappled water vista, perhaps gently rolling waves or lovely country paddocks stretching on as far as the eye can see.
Last night however the view took my breath away. A lovely sunset, silhouetting mundane rooftops and chimney pots into things of beauty. Heralding the hot day that was to be today.
Not a beach
Not a lake
Still a thing of beauty
Contrasts–half a world away (pretty much opposite Brisbane to be exact) we are awaiting yet another winter storm. I like yours better :>)
I just popped over to your blog and I can see what you mean about contrasts! Still, it looks like you are in a stunning, if cold place.
It has its charms! Though by no means as warm as Aust. the summers, too, have their unique beauty. Here’s a video (I have left out the dots–you have to put them in where the spaces are). If I don’t wordpress totally messes up your page with a HUGE preview :>)

Thank you so much for sending me that link, it was beautiful, I really loved the historic buildings. I want to put it on my wish list of places to visit one day. My mother-in-law had three lovely Newfoundland dogs so I’ll show it to her as well.
I love the sky and all its colors. I’m learning to appreciate a good Oklahoma sunset just as much as I loved my coastal Florida skies.
Do the Oklahoma skies feel more closed in to you than the coast or can you see for miles?
you can see for miles, but the trees here are so different than the ones back home, it still feels foreign just to look at the skyline!
I can imagine, it must almost be like living in a different country.
Absolutely gorgeous. Try to enjoy the heat knowing others, like me, are freezing and getting buried in snow.
Hmmm, whilst I do like snow I’m sure there is such a thing as too much snow. Stay warm.
Whoo needs beaches or lakes when they have Melbourne? Whoo?
Ha ha, whoo indeed?
Gorgeous ! Nature art is really beautiful ❤
Yes we’re so lucky she provides us with so much!
Marvellous how we never tire of a lovely colourful sunset and to have one just out side of home ….
It would be nice if it was there more often, but perhaps then I wouldn’t appreciate it as much.
I’m thinking that right now about the SUN&WARMTH ….the heating is on …the roof tops are wet and shiny … the Hills are buried under foggy mist …and I still have that hole in my wellies
I’m very worried about your feet, nothing worse than wet socks in winter. Have you considered chewing gum for the hole in your wellies. I can never get it off my shoes when I stand in it so I think it could be a solution.
Wow!What a gorgeous, beautiful sunset sky!! Hmmm…I think we’ll have to wait a while over here before having a lovely warm pinky sunset….tis a bit too cold for the moment!!

Well don’t worry, when you have lovely warmth I’ll be whinging about grey cold days!
Lovely composition on your photos! And what gorgeous colour.
Thank you! It looks very different today though, quite overcast, although the sun is trying to burn through.
Beautiful sunset pictures, lovely.
Thank you, grey skies today though.
Very beautiful photographs!
Thank you so much, I popped over to your blog and your photographs are lovely too!
