Well I heard that old saying "Red sky in the morning sailors take warning, Red sky at night sailors delight" ages ago from my Grandmother. They owned a cottage on Lake Champlain in Vermont which was handed down to my father so I spent alot of time there growing up. She always said there would be bad weather if the sky was Red in the morning, course my Dad always said if you saw a field of cows laying down that it was going to rain too. There are tons of these old "wives tales" But this one Red Sky in the Morning, I'm really starting to believe, I've been watching this horizon since we moved here and it does seem that every time there is a Red sky, something happens with the weather . This particular morning brought winds up over 45MPH waves on the lake again were up to 14 feet high.

I missed the sunrise this morning but I bet it was Red tonight we are going to get another blow of 45MPH gale force winds , freezing rain and blowing snow. Maybe even thunderstorms.

But we are warm inside our Lake Front home, the woodstoves are burning! Thanks for visiting my gallery and your comments on my photos!

i'm sorry for your Weather Reporting there!! however as you say warm is inside!! i like so much this effect of light... colours are so intense!! it's wonderful as a picture!! excellent post!! brava!
ciao Marco

When cows are laying down in the field, it only means they are tired Donna (*_^) LOL!

Simple compo. Effective saturation increasing the contrasts between hot and cold colors. Freezing rain warnings are now in effect up here too.

We will get it too (^_^).

Take care !
Robert

Hi Donna

Marvellous graphism & silhouettes, of the tree at left, which also nicely frames the scene. Superb warm colours of the sunset, contrasting well, against the blue sea & sky. Tfs!

It's kind of premium postcard quality . .
Well done my dear friend

Fire! Fire! What a beautiful sky.
"Red sky at night - shepherds delight!" Anther true saying - sometimes!!
Apart from the slight lean to the right on the horizon, this is a beauty.

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tasmanian Sunsets III’...and the following day 12 hours ofnon stop light rain :)

great sunrise shot with great colors and wonderful silhouettes. I am out of smileys but you would have gotten one. I am still not sure how this site works yet

Hello Donna,
An image that is living by the colours, that is contrasting the threatning clouds!
Simplicity works and the tree makes an effective foregrolund interest...

Hi Donna,
Brilliant color layers and good composition for this one. I'll bet you are better than the weather men. Seems like with all the technology and weather models we have, poking one's nose out the window works just as well. We got strong winds as well, and my husband just took down our basketball hoop after hearing how a friend's smashed two cars in one "blow"!
Take care,
Karen

Hi Donna, after months missing out TL, I'm happy to see your great shots!! wonderful sky!, great colours and frame!

Kind regards!

Lovely, vibrant bands of color here, Donna, and that flare just past the trees really makes this image. It reminds us a bit of an aurora. Good perspective here and nice use of silhouette. Simple and really quite beautiful.

Regards,
Jim

P.S. -- I think the skies have probably kept the sailors on this side of Lake Michigan busy, what with the winter we've had, too.

Hi Donna, this is a great sunset, magnificient colours. So the day must have been a great one?

Thx and take care, Yan :)

hello Donna

I really like the layers of colours in the picture
the black silhoutte of the tree brakes the homogeneity of the frame

it is a lovely picture, colours are very important

Vandana

wow! amazing vivid colors of the morning Donna, good capture of the beautiful lights,excellent composition.well done.
regards from Dubai..........andres :)later

Morgen rood, water in de sloot - what does that mean - when the sky is red in the morning there wil be water in de ditch. (or so my grandmother said).
This looks absolutely lovely, as if this one is made in the tropics - very attractive.
Keep warm inside your home!

Take care and TFS

Hello Donna

Beautiful visual!
I am amazed with the beauty of his horizon!
the colors from the ground to the sky are wonderful.
the colors in orange in the sky form undulations as the Northern Dawn. Beautiful!
