Skywatch Friday - Boxing Day sunrise


At its height, the Boxing Day sunrise filled the sky with glory.

It started gently. This is the view south-east from my Dad's garden, towards the river Spey and the Conval Hills.




This was about 8.40 a.m.



The colour of the sky over the Convals was a shade that I can only describe as Laura Ashley duck egg blue. We have Laura Ashley kitchen seat pads in just this combination of blue and peach. It was rather nice to see it in the sky:



More glorious skies from around the world are at Skywatch Friday.

    It is amazing how the different angles of the sun turn it into such wonderful different colors. That was a pretty amazing sight. Great shots.

    Those colours are amazing. I've seen similar ones from Shetland recently too. I must head north and get a sky fix!

    Wow, those are stunning! In my travels to Scotland, I have missed that kind of a sky. I will need to come back and try again.
