"THE SKY IS ON FIRE"

in sunset •  7 years ago 

While doing a little shopping in Hollister, MO last night, we noticed something interesting.

Outside, the whole sky looked ablaze! We knew that it was "just the sunset" but we still quickly finished our shopping and exited the store. We know that things like this just do not last. Upon exciting the building, Red-Pepper said to me, "The sky is on fire!" She too was amazed at the display before us. Finally, I was able to take some sunset photos that made me feel more like @daveks. See what you think!

THE SKY IS ON FIRE!!!

Here are a few of my favorite ones. This still looks amazing in the photos, but I was so blessed to be able to behold it in person.

PRETTY IN PINK

Since sunsets change rapidly sometimes, I also got a few shots where the sky looked a lot less "on fire." Here are a few pretty pink ones instead.

ACROSS THE LOT

I know that the sky make look really impressive with the zoom on the camera like that, but it diminished in size rather rapidly too. Here are a few photos from across the lot.

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Amazing shots...

woooow very nice place and amazing picture
i love this place so much ^^

Nice picture!!

Yes @ papa-pepper it does have a bit of a Saskatchewan vibe. Nice captures! :)

LOL! Thanks!

This was captured one random night from my neck of the woods in Sasky. https://steemit.com/colorchallenge/@kobiespriggs/colorchallenge-red-monday

I also reside in that province (for the record!)

There is no denying that it looks good.

Wow, this is beautiful and breathtaking as well. I call this the wonders of smartphone. Your smartphone has a good camera.

Oh My, wish I could have seen that live

Yes me too. I love nature. It sometimes helps me to forget my troubles and pains

What a fantastic picture. God blessed us with nature. The sunset also sometimes look like this in Nigeria during raining season.

Great shot. A sight to behold

Such an amazing shot.
Sunset gives you variety of colours in the skies, its amazing how you captured these colours.
The sky is really on Fire..

juste magnifique se ciel de flamme

Its like volcano Nice shot @papa-pepper

Wow! Interesting comparison.

amazing scenery, I wonder why the sky can be so?

Parking lot sunsets are my favorite! The best place to get a glimpse of the horizon in the city.

I will never get tired of seeing the sky lit up like this. did you see my shot yesterday?

Excellent, I saw it now! Thanks!

Beatiful..

While the fiery pics are cool and intense, I prefer the calming pink ones instead. You’re getting a lot of use out of your new camera. That thing must be attached to you lol

wow, my friend @papa-pepper, this is a very beautiful sky with red color.
@daveks and you @papa-pepper, it is really great in taking a beautiful view of the sky,
because I know, @daveks really like about the landscape, I always follow every post @daveks.

Woah Magnificent!

The sky looks as if it is in flames. Love the contrasts in the photos.

Thanks @emilevil!

These are very cool and professional pics, beautiful and amazing, irresistible to the eyes. Great work on your part @papa-pepper

That looks like molten lava in the first few pics!

Great shots. Sometimes it is about being at the right place at the right time... but to win you also have to be ready with the camera haha!

Yeah, thankfully I try to carry a camera these days!

Wow that looks scary!!!! And beautiful... nice shot @papa-pepper

Great Captures!
Deffently In The right place at the right time.

@amymya

wow man I wish we had skies like those in my country!

Beautiful pics as always!

First time I saw one like this in a while.

I like the one with the birds in it...nice shot....no, your not a bird!

Stunning Captures @papa-pepper. The view is just** BREATH-TAKING.** 😍
Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day ahead.!!

Amazing!

Now that would have been cool to see!

On fire indeed! Magnificent sunset, beautiful sky, an Awesome Creator!!

wooww very nice... thanks for sharing

I think you do not see this everyday .....every evening... Stunning!!! Well done!

Really cool and inspiring shots! I've heard that the sky can sometimes get so vibrant because of sand particles in the air. At least, that's what happens here in Europe, when there is Sahara sand in the air 😊

Damn nice..what camera gave you clear natural shots?

Am caught up before even reading your post I first go and see "As always am @papa-pepper here is the proof"

After that I go back to read.
Its really amazing to see that sunset 🌇 it brings life and retrieves people's stress.

Personally if am stressed I go to the hill near our home and watch the sky as the sun sets.

Lol. To @papapepper

Postcard material there @papa-pepper :)

What I do most of the time when Im not walking around with my DSLR: pulling out the trusty smarterphone and answering people around you why you keep looking up the sky :)

ps: you need to compete at one of these photocontests :)

Magnificent!

eeeehmmm, I dont know.. seems like there is something obscuring the fiery sky on the proof shot...;->

Wow amazing

DAMNNNNNN.

That's why I will always take my camera with me.

The picture is so beautiful, I really like your drawing

As always and as expected from @papa-pepper! Loving of what I’m seeing here. I also once saw a scenario like this before but wasn’t able to capture it..so sad :-( ..I hope to have it one day as well :-)

The firey red sunset is absolutely amazing! Great shots' @papa-pepper! The pretty pink ones are beautiful too but the firey red really grabs your attention!

Oh my! What an incredible sight to behold... So lucky to be living on this beautiful planet.. Thank you for capturing and sharing these! <3

The new camera is working well I see. Well done.

Some of the most precious things in life are free!

What this pictures reminded me of: ACDC-skies on fire

Beautiful creation indeed!
Good capture too.
