This sunset produced some wonderful colours over some very ordinary buildings on the remote edge of Sydney Airport at Mascot, near General Holmes Drive.
Jim, this is a great photo of contrasts with the blue/pink sky and the strict lines of the front building.
I love to fly home on a Friday at sunset and see the sun drop beneath the clouds and sink into the Gulf of Mexico just before landing. Well, I really like coming home with or without the sunset - hah!
Thanks for the airport picture! I especially enjoy your shots of the control towers since I work in the tower at San Francisco airport. Did you happen to see a QANTAS B747 leave Sydney with an extra engine the other day? You can see it on: www.visionsofairliners.blogspot.com Thanks!
Keith W, the plane with exploding engine made big news over here this week. I heard about the replacement engine being sent over but hadn't seen the photos or footage of it. Thanks.
Ewok, I wasn't flying out anywhere this time. I was driving past on my way home from the city and noticed the great colours in the sky, so stopped off to take a few shots around there.

So beautiful sunset, I wish I could see the gorgeous skies and colors. Too bad my last trip to sydney only can see the grey sky. Enjoy your weekend. Capture life as I see it

Wonderful colours!
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful sky!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.
I agree about the ordinariness of the out-buildings. Although you have some interesting repeating happening with the lights etc.
ReplyDeleteThe sky is certainly not ordinary. Terrific capture.

What a strange color !
ReplyDeleteAlthough the buildings are pretty much the same, this is so different from a Scottish airport sunset!
ReplyDeleteI love those soft pastel colors.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Wow, the colors are amazing. A beautiful sunset capture!
ReplyDeletelotusleaf, it's a high security area but it's also close to a public road so it was easy to get close to the fence.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Sometimes you can't move clear of lightpoles and ordinary buildings to get the shot you need.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely, soft colors. I always like having the opportunity to see a part of your world.
ReplyDeletelove the different tones of colours.
ReplyDeleteWow, thos are some impressive colors, especially with those bands of clouds!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful sunset, I wish I could see the gorgeous skies and colors. Too bad my last trip to sydney only can see the grey sky. Enjoy your weekend.
