MARTIAN SUNSET

Feeling like an astronaut on Mars, tonight I witnessed an amazing sunset on our local hill field. 

Like a martian sky it burned fiery red, searing the clouds with scarlet, bubbling them with yellows, eventually darkening to a bruised deep purple black.

It was mesmerising for me and mutt and I really hope that my snaps do this spectacle a little justice.


Its got me in the mood for episode 3 of  The First tomorrow night, the TV drama series exploring a future mission to Mars.

I wish I was a spaceman! You too?

  3. Beautiful skyscapes, Woodsy. My fave is number four with the silhouetted lone tree in the distance, at the far side of frame. Make a good background for narrative text from a suitable song or poem perhaps :)

    1. Thanks Tone. I like that lone tree too. Last winter it often sheltered a Buzzard but not yesterday. I did however film a kestrel nearby and spoke a few words over the film. To be posted soon late one night after the toys of the day.

  4. I always loved the "space colony simulation" games, as it is only possible (for now) way for me to have that feel of being a spaceman

    1. You are a games guru Ran. Your space gaming reminds me of the film The Last Starfighter. Have you seen it?
