A festive Sunset

I love a bit of drama in the sky

I love a bit of drama in the sky

Walking home after a lovely lunchtime with a good friend, I was full of Christmas cheer. The sky was a blaze of fire but the chill was nipping at my toes.  As the Christmas lights came on in our town centre, I just had to stand a little while and admire.

It only needed a few minutes

Paula has chosen a spectacular way to say ‘farewell’ to the Thursday Special until the New Year. If you like a bit of drama too, that’s the place to be.

  1. Beautiful sky drama pics…very festive and how lovely to spend time with good friends. I’m singing off today for a while Jo, so wanted to wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and New Year…and thank you again so much for helping me through a very difficult week…I’m in a better place again now, getting everything crossed off the list 🙂 See you in 2015, sending Christmas hugs to you ⭐

    1. We always get there in the end, Sherri, but I know it can be major trauma. Hugs, darlin’. So glad it’s going well now. Have a fantabulous Christmas and I’ll look forward to spending time with you in 2015 🙂

    1. Thanks, Ad 🙂 I’m just back from another celebration lunch with friends but it was wild and windy today, so I did a tiny bit of shopping on the way back instead. Hope your Christmas is going to plan 🙂

    1. As I headed back from town today it was quite stormy but I couldn’t resist a few shots of the moody sky. That camera’s becoming an obsession 🙂 Hope the festive season is being kind to you.

    1. My toes were turning blue, Sue, but I quite like the colour 🙂 I’m just back from my last pre-Christmas celebration with my very oldest girlfriends. It was wild and windy so I blew happily home (nothing to do with the red wine!) The serious work starts next week 😦

  13. Our little town … like most towns…. have a “turn on the decorations” night. It is early in December and people always gather downtown to watch and cheer. It happens just as the sun is setting and there is a lovely glowing feeling that spreads among the crowd.
    Your post reminded me of those occasions. 🙂

  18. Blazing sun and a tower with gorgeous perspective :). Thank you very much, Jo. I will not send you holiday wishes yet as I know you will be around. I must say your town looks too exciting to be spending time online 😉

    1. Ooh, Bollywood, Seonaid! 🙂 Reminds me of my zumba class 🙂 So glad to hear from you. It’s funny I was just thinking of the people I haven’t visited lately… and there you were! Thank you so much. Hope your Christmas is wonderful and 2015 all that you would want it to be.
