A late December evening for SKYWATCH FRIDAY
No traveling required for these views .... just an evening walk right here at Upriver
Skies were blue ... and pink .... and golden
And the moon was pure magic:
Full moon December 2012
Thanks to the SWF team!
Great views, very scenic.

I have no place for this kind of shots. Down by my little wide streem the sun goes down at the wrong angle. :( Love your shots. It must have been a nice walk.

What beautiful, warm evening photos. Your winter evenings are probably warmer than many of our summer evenings!
Posted by: Al | January 04, 2013 at 04:12 PM
HOW very pretty! We havent seen much sun around here lately...but today we saw it for a while,,,,was so nice.
Posted by: Sondra | January 04, 2013 at 07:23 PM
The skies where you spend half the year are indeed beautiful. We spent the last two weeks of the year in Oregon and I must tell you the skies were clear for most of it (although VERY cold) and we saw that same moon in it's beautiful splendor.
Posted by: Margot | January 04, 2013 at 09:18 PM
Twilight reflects its heavenly hues across the skies and water while Mr Moon plays peek a boo in the trees. Pure perfection!
Be well and happy, Sallie :)
