It must be the firecracker pollutants in the air but the sunrise that greeted the first morning of the new year was quite colorful. My husband took the photo. I was still asleep since the fireworks kept me up pretty late.
For even more spectacular skies around the world, please visit Sky Watch Friday.

ReplyDeleteI love the photo in your banner, Kay! I think it is so peaceful! I was so content with my plain and simple "no banner", but am thrilled with the change. We see so many different things in the blogs we visit. I love the inspiration!
Kay, I love the color of the sunrise! Glad Art could capture it while you slept. Darn those firecrackers anyway!
ReplyDeleteNice to know that even pollutants have their good points! :<) That is some beautiful sky!
