Sky Scaper

Must Be Pink's Latest Concert

It might look as though a violet-azure mini-tornado is approaching, but it was just a harmless evening sky without a hint of menace. I actually took this shot just before I went to Sydney - and promptly forgot about it over the Easter holiday. I shot this from our nature strip (for my US and Canadian readers, a nature strip is the two-metre-wide strip of grass that separates an Australian front yard from the edge of the street). The soft pastels in the sky intrigued me, as well as the clearly demarcated colour separation. Less than five minutes later, the colours were completely washed over.
