Hues - Where and When..?

The sky is an eternal Kaleidoscape.

Here are some of the warmer views from Copenhagen in Denmark.

When the sun is close to the horizon, sometimes clouds look as if they've all been set on fire.

Winterdays are dark and deeply blue, sommerdays brighter, even at night.

February is the best month for snow storms.
August best for lightning and thunder storms.

Seek dawn and dusk; the sun colours anything and tilts the spectrum towards warmer hues...

Heavenly photos..?

Here's at least 5 things you could consider:

1: Be alert: Look up and around now or then, or out of the windows. You never know when the sky is up to something spectacular...

2: Be quick: Sky formations are unstable and may completely vanish minuts later. If the sky looks interesting, it is now or not...

3: Be patient: Sky formations mutate all the time. Snap a shot, then wait! Most likely a better variation will appear within minutes...

4: Be aware: Most skies are overexposed, lacking contrast and color. Try adjust this with your imageprocessing software...

5: Be careful: If the sky suddenly turns green? Forget about photography and run for the hills; a storm coming, a tornado around the corner...

When and where

All photos are from the north-western part of Copenhagen, where I live...

I have no preferred time of day, so these photos are scattered around the clock...

How and why

I have sharpened all photos, and adjusted light and levels. Otherwise they are untouched...

A few have been mirrored,
but it's obvious who...
