Description
...and the longest night" - it's not a title for a new movie - but the annual phenomena (Winter-Solstice today, the 21st of June) - in our 'upside-down' world of OZ.
There was something very magical happening, when the Moon just started to rise in the East and the Sun about to disappear in the West.
The fluffy clouds looked like golden fairy floss, if there is such a thing ?
(no photoshop today - just me & my little old Fuji, taken in May)
Cheers *BB*

Beautiful shot Brigitte and I would like to think that all thing elf and fairy exist. It would be a much less interesting place if they didn't.

Love those clouds! Well, we have out longest day today. Getting light at 4:20 am and it doesn't get dark till well after 10:30pm. Right now enjoying a daytime thunderstorm, with full sunshine and no rain...looks really odd.

A lovely capture of these happy looking clouds. I like how you have the dark frame of the trees to really make them stand out.

Perfect exposure to show the full glory of the sky and clouds- love the sihlouette effect of the foreground tree framing this!

well, after all my talk about your design-sense (and transforming photos), you post a pure photo of deep beauty. The clouds look like a grand mountain range. And the deep oranges---an autumnal orange (something we don't get in the winter solstice, up here in the arctic)---and the deep blacks of the ground and those over-arching branches and leaves above, and that single Japanese-like moon, are all so beautiful and simple. I mean, it's complex, but it's also simple. It does have a Japanese sense to it. You framed it all with those silhouetted trees and leaves, so that we feel like we're viewing the clouds and moon through a very intimate space. It's beautiful, Brigitte, and you picked the perfect hue for your signature. A truly poetic photograph.
