Here in Ireland we are fortunate to have some pretty spectacular and dramatic skies as the sun sets. Living in the country as I do, I enjoy big skies and all the drama they bring. Every cloud does have a silver lining, adding to the spectacle if a few (and not too many!) around at sunset. On a recent trip to the Australian countryside, visiting my family who have become part of the Irish diaspora, I saw this beautiful sunset, just as a bank of cloud was moving in from the north-west. This particular sun was setting over the Indian Ocean, about 12 kilometres away, which probably added to the colours. So for my first post of 2015, I am delighted to share these images, and with them come good wishes to all my readers for a happy and contented 2015. Thank you for your support which is very much appreciated!

Beautiful skies, Angela and you’ve done them justice. I hope 2015 treats you well also.

Thanks very much for the compliment! Much appreciated from one who takes great photos…I do ‘snaps’ !

Just what I needed – thanks for sharing! The sun has been hiding under clouds for so long that we haven’t seen a sunset in weeks – but yours are beautiful!!

It is my pleasure and today I am grateful as I write to be seeing filtered sunlight finding its way through my window!

Beautiful! I’m going to share these with my mom. She’s a nut about clouds. She’ll love these.
