Mountains near at hand use up the sky. Mountains a tad farther away can add to it.
These scenes greeted us on Christmas night.

I was this-many years old when I learned the origin of the expression "a bolt from the blue."
Lightning comes in different flavors.
But can you name the different types of bolts?
This chart does a useful and interesting recap.

The Week’s Best Example of Making Merry
LOL! 🤣
Long before babies can speak conventionally, they begin laughing - making laughter one of humankind’s earliest and most important forms of communication.
For your baby, laughter (which typically begins at about 3 months of age) conveys much more than just “I find this… https://t.co/zoIYstbiNG pic.twitter.com/gM0PqCET7a

Poetry of the Week
This is not a loaf of bread
This is daily sanctuary
This is breakfast in bed
Or beans on toast for tea.This is not a loaf of bread
This is shared community
This is a soup-dipped crust
Or a picnic lunch for three.This is not a loaf of bread
This is tasty alchemy
This is a gravy soaker-upper
Or a gourmet chip butty.This is not a loaf of bread
This is a crafted recipe
Of sun and rain and earth
And oven-baked poetry.Notices

Happy New Year!
Tom
Tom – Many thanks. Right back at ya.
The red sky in that last photo is a thing of beauty Isabel. We’ll done, and happy New Year.
Ken – Many thanks, and happy new year to Kenora, too.
From glory unto glory, gifts from on high. Thank you for sharing the Blessing!
Laurna – 🙂 🙂
I LOVE a wide open sky!!
Alison – We’re forming two lines . . . 🙂
Beautiful sky and excellent photos. I also caught a dramatic sunset on my walk yesterday afternoon. Makes me feel good, even if it is just a meteorological phenomenon.
Judith – Many thanks. It is a happy thing, isn’t it?
Hard to believe these are NOT unsaturated in Photoshop – gorgeous!
Barbara – 🙂 Many thanks. I did add a bit of “warm contrast” but it mostly brightened them up a tad.
Stunning views! I find it difficult to capture the beauty of a sunset in pictures. They do not often translate well. You have done a fantastic job! Living vicariously through your photos… Happy New Year!
Heather – I feel your difficulties. This sunset was much wider, of course, but the full view included lots of distracting elements, as it often does. Meanwhile, the zoomed view is a little narrow. But the colours came through well, even though the full IRL impact is missing. I think I need a wide-angle lens . . . 🙂 Glad you’re enjoying the photos.
