A Glade Sunset. January 18, 2009.
The picture above, which can be enlarged by clicking on it, was taken from my favorite point on the Druid Hills golf course for viewing the setting sun.
I got there a little later than I had planned, and the sun had already dropped below the ridge line. I was a little disappointed, but stayed to get a few shots of the sky. As it got darker , the light reflecting off the clouds got redder and redder until I got the rose color in the picture above.
I’m sorry that the picture is a little dark, but I didn’t want to try any editing. What you see is what came out of the camera.

What a pretty photo!

Love it, great picture.
January 29, 2009 at 10:09 pm |
My favorite photos are those that came straight from the camera. This one’s a beauty! Thanks for sharing.

The picture may be dark, but the red is intense, and the combination is very dramatic.
January 29, 2009 at 10:19 pm |
The red was worth waiting for. It’s a lovely shade.

Hi.. thanks for dropping by my SWF post, and thanks for always dropping by my blog and commenting there.
Anyway, this is a very interesting sky you have. I love red streaks. I think this is the first time I saw a red-colored sky.
January 29, 2009 at 11:02 pm |
The sky looks like it is on fire. Nice picture.
January 29, 2009 at 11:26 pm |
I think that the layers of colors are beautiful even if it isn’t exactly what you wanted George…Michelle..

Great picture of sunset.
I like it without editing – Original!
January 29, 2009 at 11:46 pm |
Whoa! I love that bright red. Quite often, it is just after sunset you get beautiful colors in the sky.
January 30, 2009 at 12:02 am |
I’m glad you waited; it’s gorgeous!
January 30, 2009 at 12:19 am |
That is really beautiful. I’ve often missed a good sunset because I didn’t linger around after the sun already crossed the line.
I like it dark and broody…
I played along today – not sure what I caught though…
Have a great Friday!

It was the same scene today morning at my place. I love the volcano ignite effect just before the sunrise.

Hi George, Your sunset shot is great!!! I love sunset and sunrise pictures… I post some of them on Sunday’s meme…. The sun sets so quickly, I miss a good shot if I don’t take it immediately..thanks for sharing this wonderful sunset… Have a good day…. Baba
January 30, 2009 at 4:48 am |
But it’s beautiful George! It’s an honest photo and exactly what your camera detected. Have a great SWF day
January 30, 2009 at 5:05 am |
George your photo came out great. It kinda reminds me of lava. =) Hope you have a wonderful day.
January 30, 2009 at 6:44 am |
wonderful sunset! 🙂
January 30, 2009 at 6:59 am |
It doesn’t need any editing ~ it’s beautiful and dramatic already! Wow.
January 30, 2009 at 9:24 am |
Incredible colours! Well captured!
January 30, 2009 at 9:25 am |
Whoa!!! That is just so beautiful. I am glad you posted exactly what you saw. MB
January 30, 2009 at 9:37 am |
This is wild looking of the sky. I like it so much.Thanks for sharing them
January 30, 2009 at 9:54 am |
George, this is real beauty!
January 30, 2009 at 10:14 am |
That’s beautiful! I prefer honest photos also.
January 30, 2009 at 10:37 am |
Very beautiful George. No need to edit what God has already “painted” so perfectly!
January 30, 2009 at 11:03 am |
This is a real beauty.
January 30, 2009 at 11:30 am |
I love sunsets–but can’t see them where I live down in the valley.
Beautiful fire in the sky!
January 30, 2009 at 12:13 pm |
It’s very pretty, George and doesn’t matter that it is dark. That’s just the truth the camera is showing 🙂 I like the last bits of color that come late like that. Must have been a beauty as it went down. Great place to view a sunset. I have so many distractions in my view.
January 30, 2009 at 2:02 pm |
There are those pics that dont need any tweaking at all, this is one of them. Happy weekend.
January 30, 2009 at 2:19 pm |
The vivid tones and contrasts are lovely.
January 30, 2009 at 3:45 pm |
Even in the darkness of the photo the beauty is obvious.
January 30, 2009 at 3:54 pm |
That picture is beautiful!
January 30, 2009 at 4:50 pm |
I’m always finding myself missing sunsets … sometimes the colors cooperate and hang around … other times they don’t. There was a fire in the Everglades, and that day had the most brilliant red sunset … but I missed it, atleast to photograph it. It was gone by the time I got to my favorite spot.

Wow…”red sky at night, sailor’s delight.
“red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning”
What a simply beautiful photograph !
January 30, 2009 at 8:23 pm |
That was really a pretty sky!
January 30, 2009 at 9:38 pm |
Very, very beautiful George!
January 30, 2009 at 11:51 pm |
Breathtaking is the only word I can think of! What a wonderful shot!
January 30, 2009 at 11:55 pm |
Oh so beautifully colored!
January 31, 2009 at 2:14 am |
Red at night sailor’s delight! That’s what my Grandpa used to say and my Dad.
It’s lovely George.
January 31, 2009 at 3:31 am |
Colors are really beautiful. My opinion is that this photo is better than “manipulated” by photoshop or PaintShopPro. So the original photo is original and it reflex the situation as it was when You photogrphed the sky.
Thank You sharing this photo with us.
Best regards.
January 31, 2009 at 8:57 am |
Gorgeous red sky! I don’t edit anything, sometimes the photo isn’t as good as what I actually saw, but then I think photoshopping is kind of fake. Guess I’m a purist 😉
January 31, 2009 at 10:56 am |
This image I like. Such mysterious and dramatic sky and the colours are nearly like a bad omen. With that I mean that this would be fitting in a psychological thriller or something similar. Great shot George. I also read your post on retirement. I could retire today and not have any problems getting time to go. Even in the winter without my gardening.
January 31, 2009 at 1:08 pm |
Lovely George, I like the contrast in it alot
February 1, 2009 at 11:29 am |
George: Beautiful capture in red.

What a FIREY sky … dramatically threatening! I understand about getting there just a bit late … it happens to me all too often. I’ve not spent much time at the computer the last 4 days or so, but I did participate in Sky Watch at Happily Retired Gal and Sacred Ruminations on Friday. I’m doing what I can to catch up this afternoon after being away from home all day yesterday and watching the 5-set Men’s Championship Tennis Match earlier this morning.
Hugs and blessings,

I am glad you waited for the sky to become this dark. I love that intense pink shade!!
Thanks for sharing!
February 2, 2009 at 2:51 am |
Wow, what a sky! That’s some fiery color in those clouds.
