SkyWatch Friday: one photo says it all

© Photo by Richard Schear

Our Southern Alberta sky turned the color of a harvest moon this week, for the last SkyWatch Friday of the year. My intrepid photographer, with strict orders to bring me new photos of Lindy, went walking with the long lens on his camera—perfect for this year-end sunset, not so good for a dog at the end of a leash.

    Long lenses do have their limitations and there advantages.
    Even if he did not bring you a shot of Lovely Lindy he captured a lovely sky.

    I dunno about you, but I definitely forgive him for taking the "wrong" picture! That's an amazing sky.
