Thank you again to our sponsors who tirelessly use their time to bring us wonderful views of skies from all over for our viewing pleasure.

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 NW

As 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.

NC Mountains Foggy Morning

It was another of those unusual early morning ,thick fog draped,rising sun days. I was up very early as usual and I looked out the window and saw an amazing sight, a Half Moon in the sky and very thick fog covering the earth in a blanket grey, rising up into the sky.

I just had to go out and photograph it before it disappeared because here in the mountains Grandfather (Sun) rises very quickly once He climbs the top of the mountains quickly dispatches the fog.

The first photograph is of the Half Moon above...click to enlarge..

This is a photograph of the fog and the rising sun and the Pink clouds just as the Sun was rising.(click to enlarge)

This photograph was taken just about 15 minutes later as the Sun was getting higher in the sky and burning off the fog..amazing cloud formations lit Pink by the rising Sun.(click to enlarge)
