Quenched by cloud

In the week I went to the forest for a walk and a photo shoot! I wanted to experiment with some different settings. The forest shoot was not very productive ( although I enjoyed being in the arms of oak, the rich scent of leaf and earth, and soft birdsong ) but the sunset was simply amazing! I bring it home and lay it before you in all it's tangerine delight :-)

On another note: I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory today! It was fantastic! Love Tim Burton! He was just the right choice for this movie! It was dark and twisted but it was also very funny! The umpalooma songs are classic! I highly recommend it :-)

Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend!

Martin said...

BORYA: Well it's good to have wild and eclectic tastes! My own tastes in movies, music, books, and just about everything zig zag madly from one extreme to the other!

Another lovely picture Martin :) Glad you liked the movie, I thought it was fantastic might even move up to be my fave Tim Burton film.

Martin said...

RONNY: Thanks :-)

Yes, I felt the same. It was so good that I might have to move it up to be my fave Tim Burton movie! I could easy go and see it again tomorrow!!!

JUST ME: I'm a sucker for sunsets too. I'm always photographing them! Well... always photographing the sky! I just can't help myself!

Go see Willy Wonker :-D I had some Ben & jerry ice cream when I went to see it! Chocolate chip cookie dough! That works for me :-D

KYOTSNA: Thank you! And thanks for stopping by to leave a comment.

UBER: Thanks :-) It's pretty amazing one! I was so glad to see it AND have my camera with me! I think it's going to be my fave shot of a sunset now!

*puts on sunglasses* Fabulous photo, Martin! Thanks for sharing. Here is a complimentary one you might like: http://flickr.com/photos/hodad66/32251564/ .

I never did get into the Willy Wonka original movie, but my daughter and sister went to see the new one and they really enjoyed it. Fun and weird, they said. I think I would be too tempted to gorge on chocolate if I saw it, like I need an excuse to do that! LOL, why do I always wind up talking about food on your blog?

Martin said...

MERMAID: Very glad to coax a smile to your lips! Keep smiling :-)

MARIJOSE: Thanks! And for the link! Always good to see my friend the moon :-)

I think you should see the new movie and gorge on chocolate. I guess that isn't helping? :-D Nothing wrong with talking about food ( and especially chocolate ) it's one of my passions!

Lately it's been hazy at my area and din get to see any nice sunset :P All i can see is a big reddish-orange sun among the smoky sky~

Martin said...

I'm lucky that we seem to have a LOT of great sunsets and especially this time of year. I think we have great clouds here :-)

Just Me said...

Acrix said...

Nice photo, did u do any refinement to it?

Martin said...

JUST ME: hehe must be :-)

ACRIX: Thanks! NO!!! I did absolutely nothing to the photo! This is exactly what I saw. :-)

Ah, it's always dangerous to take a photo of a sunset--kinda like taking photos of flowers and kittens. But this is a very good shot indeed. A whole new way to think about the color orange!

Ubermensch said...

Martin said...

JMHOUSE: haha, I know what you mean. I am a sucker for sunsets and sky shots in general though. I think I could have a whole photo blog of just those :-)

FINNEGAN: Hey, I like that! You know there is something really wonderful about the light at dawn. You don't get that light at any other time.

UBER: That's fine, I am honoured! :-)
