SkyWatch Friday



My summer vacation is soon over and I have had 4 wonderful weeks. Great weather all the time.
This shot is from last week. Captured at 10:51 PM on 4th of July. At my place we don´t see the midnight sun but it never gets dark anyway. For me it is something special to sit up all night with family and friends, enjoying summer and spending time with each other.

For more skies around, please visit SWF Homepage and feel free to join.

En fantastisk solnedgang du har fanget her. Likte godt kontrastene med vindmøllene

Så flott, Ivar! Er det fra Hitra? Så nydelig med båten akkurat foran der sola skinner på vannet - flotte farger og veldig stemningsfullt! Fin helg til deg!

You had 4-week vacation? I am so jealous. As jealous as I am that you have seen this beautiful sunset with your own eyes.

Enjoy the rest of the summer days.

What a gorgeous golden photo!
Being so near the equator, it is so hard for me to imagine having sunlight so late in the evening.
Happy SWF!

Except for the wind turbines it is like an illustration for an old fasioned Boy's Own adventure magazine. Just lovely rowing into the sunset with friends.

Tell the persons fighting for NO Windmills at the coast that the beauty in nature take no harm with energy support from such beauties.
Sell your photo to NVE

Hello Ivar, I have been trying to catch up since returning home. I hope you have been having a great summer. This is a beautiful sky watch photo. I hope you get the chance to go capture that large buck photo this fall.
