Great sunsets and moon shots, lurch!

I only had occasion to see sun dogs once this winter.

On the sun theme, I took this shot when the sun was behind a thick fog.

Beautiful sunsets lurch!

I figure I've made you all wait long enough for these, not that you knew you were waiting for them... I took them from the plane on my way home from Venice like a month and a half ago. Yeah, I know, I'm lazy.

So, here you are, castle in the clouds:

I played with the hue and saturation of the last one a little...okay, a lot...but I basically left the others alone.

Manasija Monastery, Serbia XV century.
Serbian epic poem:
"...Zeman došo, valja vojevati,
Za krst časni krvcu proljevati
Svako svoje sa pokaje stare..."
"...The time has come,
It's time to battle
To spill our blood for The Holy Cross,
To avenge our elders..."

I took this last Friday (the night of our earthquake) at a friend's house. The kids were bored and found some sparklers. I love this pic: you can see the delight in Olive's face!

How's this? I noticed that when I shifted the color balance in a certain way, the blackness of the branches intensified. I figure you might like the effect. :)

I think I know what happened, Fist - the camera must've exposed for the sky, not the trees.

I used Photoshop to try to correct for the exposure. Hope you don't mind:

Anyway, it is indeed a pretty scene!

Low-res for sure! :lol: But txting it to my email looks better than the cell, and yours definitely looks closer to the actual level of light.
