EVENING FIRE CLOUDS
RETREATING FINGER CLOUDS
After a heavy rainstorm, as twilight was dusting down, the sky was washed in a hue of oranges against the still looming rain clouds. I’ve always liked the contrast of a tonal silhouette against a wash of colour. The tree line created the contrast and added a sharp textural component to the softness of the clouds.
These photos are of a subject matter I almost never photograph, sunsets. It’s because I know other photographers do this subject far more justice that I will. That said, I decided I would create a post to share these three photos. I was inspired to do so by @eolianpariah’s post Sunrise Silhouette
LACY TREE SILHOUETTES
I had no intention of ever posting these photos because they were taken as personal ones, to bring back specific memories. These were taken at the house my parents used to live in, while I stood on their back deck. They lived far away, so I was only able to spend time with them once a year. I made a point to capture photos whenever I went, so I would have them as visual reminders.
When I look at these photos, I remember the smell of the air there and the coolness that always comes with the evening setting in. I feel the deck under my feet, my hand on the wet wood railing. I hear the sound of my mother’s voice faintly in the kitchen. My father’s off in his favourite chair in the living room. Even though I can’t see or hear him, I can feel him there. It was a pause in the day, a quiet moment of in between times.

TREE FRAMED FIRE

These shots are quality! 😎
Great stuff, we want to see more!
Thank you! More will be coming, but these will be the only sunset photos I post.
Isn't it amazing how these images bring these moments alive in every sensual way? I love that silhouette of the tree and the rich color of the background. Thanks for sharing those memories with those images. Beautiful!
It sure is and this is why I take certain photos, just to revisit with a visual reminder. 😃
Thank you for checking out my post and leaving a thoughtful comment. I love to hear what others have to say.
Sunsets are one of those that look beautiful but then the curse of photography kicks in and you think about all those crazy sunset on even more crazy places :D
Sky looked phenomenal here.
Oh yes, you're so right! Thank you, I was after the clouds 😁
This is a real gasp!!😨😱 , the shot and the genius 🤓 in the post.
Wow, thank you! 🤗
That is a super stunning view! I wish I could see that in person myself. Although you may have been hesitant to photograph sunsets, I am glad you did that.
Thank you! It's a beautiful place. I'll be posting some other photos from trips there, that are are meaningful to me.
Damn these shots are so awesome I can't even have a favorite! I'm just like.. w o a h 😍 I love that you posted them even though they were that personal, I'm sure it was hard and this is why it feels really cute and I'm so touched lol I can't put into words how beautiful this is (and ahhhh that violet!)
Thank u for making this post, it's a fav now. 💙
Hahaha! I thought of your love for clouds when I put these up. I was hoping you'd like them. Yes, these are very personal, but no way for anyone to know that due to the subject matter. As I wrote the post, I went back to remembering that moment. It brought some sadness to the forefront, since that time is gone now.
I'm so glad you've enjoyed them and hahaha, yes the violet. I forgot until you mentioned it! 🤣💙
i am honored by you mentioning me as a source of inspiration. it will take me a few more days to respond properly but i will soon.
You're welcome. I never would have posted these if it wasn't for your post. I didn't think of them as having much merit until I saw yours. Also, I really like seeing your photos, they're good.
