Homeward Bound #skyworld

After sunset, some of the clouds in the far distance are still lit up orange and yellow while the clouds closer in have gone dark and grey. There is a dusky blue sky in the background and fresh green grasses in the foreground and a road running across the lower right.

Under Surveillance #fishtank #everybreathyoutake

A fish tank full of water plants with snails and a school of black and white tetras. A larger white angel fish with black spots and an orange face appears to be staring out at the viewer from the tank.

Workin’ on my Night Shoots #nightsky #northernarizona #clouds

Lights from a nearby home light up the juniper trees. The moon illuminates a cloud formation from outside the frame and a few stars are visible in the night sky.

Arizona View #gcnp

The curve of the Desert Watchtower and the angle of the shot makes the window resemble the shape of the State of Arizona. Out the window is a view of the Grand Canyon with blue skies and puffy clouds.

Pale blue sky with clouds ranging in color from white and the palest yellow, to a deep raincloud grey, to a bright peachy-orange where the sun has just dipped below the San Francisco Peaks.

Orange Sky #aleximurdoch #sandiego #beach #sunset #shotoniphone

Orange Sky

Well, I had a dream, I
Stood beneath an orange sky
Yes, I had a dream, I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my brother standing by
With my brother standing by

I said, "Brother, you know, you know It's a long road we've been walking on
Brother, you know it is, you know it is
Such a long road we've been walking on"
Oh, brother

And I had a dream, I
Stood beneath an orange sky
With my sister standing by
With my sister standing by
I said, "Sister, here is what I know now Here is what I know now
Goes like this"

In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, in your love, in your love

Oh, but sister, you know I'm so weary
And you know, sister, my heart's been broken Sometimes, sometimes my mind is too strong to carry on
Too strong to carry on
But when I am alone
When I've thrown off the weight of this crazy stone
When I've lost all care for the things I own That's when I miss you
That's when I miss you
That's when I miss you
You who are my home
You who are my home
And here is what I know now Here is what I know now Goes like this
In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, my salvation lies In your love, in your love, in your love
Well, I had a dream, I Stood beneath an orange sky Yes, I had a dream, I Stood beneath an orange sky With my brother and my sister standing by With my brother and my sister standing by With my brother and my sister standing by

Do it. Hit it. Engage. Warp speed, Mr. Sulu. Execute. Let’s FLY! #beammeup #strangenewworlds #boldlygo #shotoniphone #photo #stars #TheStarsofWarandTrek

A star-filled night skyscape with red clouds along the horizon that fade into white as they reflect less of the city light pollution the closer they get to the top of the frame/darkest part of the sky. The colors add a dreamy SciFi novel cover or movie poster vibe.

I don’t usually edit my photos or use filters when I’m taking them, but I did use the “auto-enhance” tool on the photos in this series. See replies for more edited shots. I will also add the original #SOOiPhone images which had been shot in 16:9 mode and then unmasked to include the entire 4:3 full-size image, which came out quite dark.

Purple Rain (cloud) #SOOiPhone #clouds #aftersunset

Multi-layered colorful cloudscape after sunset. Along the horizon at the bottom of the frame, the sky is a pale blue, slowly darkening to lavender and indigo with fifty shades of grey and soft pink wispy clouds blending all the colors together.

Cute Sparklesaber, Bro. #SOOiPhone #nofilter #theforceofjuly #TheOC #sparklers

A blurred long exposure photo of two people with sparklers on The Force of July. The person on the right is on the far side of the pool and they have a green sparkler. On the opposite side of the pool, the other person has a red sparkler. Both are giving off a lot of smoke and a lot of light. The smoke is lit up by the different color sparklers, so the left half of the photo is red, and the other half is blue-green.
