Sky Watch Friday


My SWF picture this week is a sunset captured tuesday evening. I was in Levanger, a small city north of Trondheim. I had to stop and watch this beautiful sight. I wish you all a happy SWF and a peaceful weekend.

    I love how the color is exploding in the bottom corner of your picture. The clouds, otherwise, look ominous. Very well captured!
