I think most of you reading News From Italy will have noticed that I post lots of photographs here. Photography is something I have always enjoyed so now with time to experiment and the opportunity to share some of the results with you here, I seem to be taking more than ever.
Yesterday evening the colours in the sky were beautiful and there was a haze around the moon. By coincidence the Beautiful World Themed Thursday subject this week is Haze, so I took a series of photos which I am sharing here and one over there.
For sometime now I have also been thinking about linking up with a popular meme called Skywatch Friday, this series of photos has given me the opportunity to do so.
The photos were all taken from our roof terrace on the evening of September 7th 2011.
Finally the haze around the moon in close up that I posted for Themed Thursday on Beautiful World

I hope you have enjoyed sharing this collection of photos, if you would like to see the photographs full size please visit the collection at Flickr.com in the album entitled A Beautiful September Evening
I am linking this post to Potpourri Friday at A Potpourri of Life at 2805, and to Skywatch Friday Welcome to ‘News From Italy’ to the other participants, thankyou for calling by.
Wishing you all a pleasant weekend and do take a minute or two to enjoy the sky.
The colors in that eighth picture down are spectacularly dramatic. The fact that blue and orange are complimentary colors adds to the dramatic effect. That was a convention recognized by the Renaissance painters, hence one will see the pairings of reds and greens, purples and yellows, blues and oranges (not the fruit necessarily :) ), etc. in paintings.
ReplyDeleteI like those hazy moon photos also, it looks like the moon is really glowing.
Awesome! The colours are so dramatic and the moon shots are captivating. I took some photos of the full moon last month which appeared orange and hope to post sometime. Did you see the same where you are? The lack of artificial light in the Italian countryside makes looking at the sky at night so enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs. I'm back in the UK and we've had mostly cloud and rain. Well done!
ReplyDeleteTHose are beautiful skies. LOve the colors.
ReplyDeleteThe prettiest sky, with pink feathered clouds - I love to see it that way! I'm your newest follower and look forward to reading more and to enjoying your photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning photos you caught of that lovely evening sky, Linda. We haven't seen many like that this summer I'm afraid. Loved the shots of the moon, and just right for linking up to the subject of Haze.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection! Bet you enjoyed basking in those colors and taking the photos. I would have been in heaven.
ReplyDeleteI love the red tones in the sky that you captured.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Photos Lindy Lou! I have noticed that you take a lot of photos and you produce some great photos. Thanks always for your kind comments!
ReplyDeleteOur sky here is gray today:( oh well I guess it will be that we are complaining about being too hot, but.... Oh at the moment I would love to be too hot. I really liked the trees silhouetted in your pics too.Cheers.
ReplyDeleteLa bella Luna! The sky and moon were very beautiful this night!
ReplyDeletewhat an evening! I too have been taking lots of photos of our evening sky from the rooftop terrace!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and amazing shot.
ReplyDeleteOh, gorgeous! I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely series! Wonderful lilacs and purples and pinks.

ReplyDeleteSylvia
Oh my, terrific skies for your first post to SWF! Love the purples!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to SkyWatch!
ReplyDeleteI used to work for a farmer who called that haze a harvest moon. It meant that it was going to rain immanently so better get the grain in quick.
The moon in your first photo glows like a gem over the Italian skies. I visited Italy a while ago and found that its enormous history also casts a spell.
ReplyDeleteHi LindyLou! You have produced some lovely photos here! I enjoyed looking them over. I have traveled enough in Italy to understand why you would want to live there. I would like to visit again, and peruse your blog and sidebar of others blogs from Italy. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful sky shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous photos! Thank you for your visit, my first visit here as well. I like the "word of the day" on the sidebar. I like to keep up with my Italian, which is rather rusty! I will be back. xo,

ReplyDeleteMy first message was so garbled I must have had my hands on the wrong keys.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are breathtakingly beautiful. I can't decide which on I like best. Some one commented on number eight, I love that one as well. I also love the purple ones. With the beauty of the sky and your talents you have an awesome team.
Since I don't have your talent I make jokes. Thanks for visiting, Bob and I are still laughing.
Have a great weekend, Ginger
A truly beautiful play of colors that you've captured. Breathtaking!!!

Such lovely photos of our beautiful sky.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning the colours are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots, and from a roof terrace. If I had one I'd get blown off it right now, it's wet and windy again, we are expecting that hurricane in from the Atlantic, we have had stormy clouds most of the week.
ReplyDeleteLovely lighting in your photos, thanks for sharing with Sky Watch Friday
ReplyDeleteStunning photos. Thank you for visiting my blog and taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Can't believe you blog from Italy...very cool!

I particularly love the colours against the dramatic and delicate silhouettes of the 2nd pic! But they're all great - amazing colours!!
ReplyDeleteOh, Italy! Even your sunsets are spectacular! Your photos are all absolutely beautiful. I love the colors that you were able to capture and the first shot of the moon? My favorite! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are fantastic, just so breathtaking. Thank you for your words to take a minute or two to enjoy my day! I needed that today.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Beautiful photos, L! I've always loved the color(s) of the sky at dusk (and dawn)!
ReplyDeleteOh, fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, many thanks for popping in. So pleased you were inspired. It's a funny thing about gates, but I just love having them, I feel more secure and cosy. I never understood those electronic gates that people have before, but I kind of do now! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I can't believe the temperature your having! Love Linda x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs, the next best thing to taking them is to look at them. I did see a few episodes of house hunting international the other evening and Italy was filmed. What beautiful breathtaking views. I would love to visit Italy someday, for now I will see it thru your blog.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Ellen
I love the sky photos, they are really beautiful!
