My post today was taken at the close of day on the Twenty Second day of July as I stepped outside and noticed a very eye catching sunset in the West and North West.
As usual, click on any photograph to enlarge for a close up and personal view.
Start of the Sunset in the West
About 20 minutes later W.
Wonderful Color also in the NWAs I turned to come back into the house I noticed up in the SW Sky a big bright 3/4 moon shinning down on me so I pointed the camera up and took a shot of the Moon and then did a close up shot also which you will see below.

Awesome skies! What dramatic, gorgeous colors! All of your shots are superb and I love the moon shots! I managed to get a pretty good one several days ago -- pretty good considering my camera is pretty basic. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

It's amazing how RED the sky is!
I envy your moon shots! Super wow! Your skies are blazing in fire! Great colors of sunset.
Oh, I forgot to say, that the glowing colors of the sun is showing on the first moon photo. Fantastic!
Wonderful fiery colours, and I do admire your moon shot. It is quite spectacular and leaves me striving to capture the moon with these great details.
Well done to be able to capture such pretty views of the moon, do enjoy your colorful views of the sky.

questi tramonti sembrano disegnati con un acquarello.
Bellissime foto.
Buona giornata.
Fiery sunsets and the moon photos are excellent.
Amazing skies! I always love your time progessions. The moon shots are wonderful.
Those moon shots are hand held? Fantastic! Love the sunset colors, too.
In answer to Clairz...yes the moon shots were hand held..now the reason I was able to do that..I have a Nikon D50 SLR camera...with which I can change lenses...on that photo I used my Nikor 70-300VR lens (VR meaning vibration Reduction) which locks on to the object and keeps it from getting any slight movment of hand held shot...such a wonderful feature to have..as I am a bit old..and do have a small bit of hand shake while holding a camera with such a large and heavy lens. I would not be able to hanhold a lens of that size without the VR feature...I would surley get blurr from movment.
That's a great moon closeup, and the sunrise photos are just spectacular.
Sunset and moonrise all at once! This is marvelous!
Without a doubt, these are some of your best Skywatch photos. You've captured those exquisite colors perfectly, and I love the Moon shots.
Great fiery sunset shots! But, oh, the moon....she's beautiful...
