Sunsets can also have art in the sky.

Especially when the colors of the clouds are intense after a hot day.

At first, I want to share a look at the sky towards the west, and then I will show you what the east looked like.

It looked like strange little beings were floating along in joy, and colors embroiled the sky. Our Creator can at times show us real art in the clouds, and the warmth of the show had me taking my shirt off. We are now having to cope with very hot days, but the African sun is famous for its blazing heat. One can even feel great relief when the sun starts to set, but then again, the house, at night, is an oven. We have to sleep with the bedroom windows open, and sadly it doesn't make much of a difference, but at least it drops the degrees by one or two.
Come let me show you what we saw.

This photo below was my signal that it would be a great sunset.

And so, it was as I kept my focus on that flying little critter.

A crash in the clouds occurred, and it was time for me to go and look at the east.

Here below we will have a look a bit later in an easterly direction.

Look how the late sun colored our mountain.

It looked like someone was raking the sky.

Have a look at the mountain range on the horizon below the tree.

How is this for a colored sky?

And finally, this was a look back at home.

I have taken a few more photos of the last picture, and I will share it in another post, as it was very, very cool. We love the sunsets, not only because they bring relief that the day is over, but also because they are never the same. I have posted many sunsets on my blog over time, and each and every one was a pleasure to watch. It evokes a feeling of wonder within, and if I could paint, I would have painted each and every one of them. But I cannot paint, and so I have to be content with what I get on the camera.

I see there are storms and snow in many areas in the northern hemisphere, and my thought was to bring you some heat just to remember that your summer is also on its way. Then it will be winter here in the southern hemisphere, but our winters, thankfully, never drop below zero degrees. Although I have to say that there are some towns in the country that do go below zero degrees, for instance Sutherland in the northern cape, but in our area, we don't have freezing temperatures like that.
Such is life.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and story.

Too hot and humid to sleep much of late, sunsets always stunning when lighting is right. Nice wind pushing clouds on high, had the sky go green with rage yesterday around sunset into a massive electrical storm.

Summer is never fun on the East Coast !LOLZ

Oh yes milady, you know all about it :)
We are now also having a very dark sky, and just maybe if the weatherman is right, we will have rain tomorrow.
I even saw a bit of lightning in the sky tonight. We miss those electrical storms that we had up north.

Many tourists won't agree with you :)

You and @daveks have inspired me to enjoy sunsets even more and occasionally photograph them to share.

I find it fun that I pass the baton of summer to you to run with during our winter trusting you will return it in the spring. VERY much looking forward to that with winter being so long in the tooth up here!

Wow! That looks like a postcard picture, as it is really beautiful.
Maybe we will pass the baton earlier than usual. The storm clouds that we see here tonight are out of season, as we are in a winter rainfall area and it is very unusual. Maybe we will have a shorter summer season.
At least we know we will be passing the baton into good hands :)

Absolutely gorgeous sunset shots you picked up there. It really is amazing how much color the clouds pick up as the sun goes down, it really is beautiful. Sorry to hear about all of the heat, it's that time of year in the southern hemisphere. When I first moved to South America when I was 18 to do ski instruction the reversed seasons always seemed so odd. But it's a beautiful place just like Africa!

By the way that mountain shot is really cool!

I do hope you get a break from the heat soon, roasting at night is never fun!

Thank you for the kind compliment, and yeah, we just have to live with the heat. The good news is that the weather burau reckons that we have some rain on the way, and it's really great news. You seem to have led a very interesting life, as it must have been great to be a ski instructor at such a young age. I am sure that you could handle the change.

The rain might bring a great relief for us.

I hope it comes and cools things off for you! I didn't speak a word of Spanish when I moved to Chile to be a ski instructor, but most of the guest were international and spoke English. I learned Spanish fast and spent the next decade of my life in South America and the Caribbean. The good old days...
