In the deepening dusk, only the highest clouds still catch the setting sunlight, as if saluting the going down of day, and heralding the coming night.
Music option: How long has it been since you’ve listened to “Nights in White Satin”? Do you remember what it was like the first time you heard Justin Hayward’s beautiful, soaring voice, surrounded by the London Festival Orchestra? And how blown away you were by Mike Pinder’s gentle spoken ‘lament’ near the end? If you have a few minutes to spare, here’s a LINK. No distracting video, no live footage, just celestial music. If you’ve never heard it before, this might be the time you’ll remember. Either way, why not treat yourself?

Another great sky in your part of the world. It's funny you mention Nights in White Satin as I heard the song a few weeks ago for the first time in years. Definitely one of the classics!
Beautiful colors, Deborah. The music is perfect - thanks for reminding me of a song I haven't listened to in ages.
The first one is simply great!!
Have a nice SWF
Oh, I bet a thunderstorm over the lake is as amazing as over the ocean. Great capture of the awesome thunderhead!
Just wonderful. Lovely hues too. Happy weekend.
Beautiful photos....and music..
Those are all beautiful songs, and the soft quality in them goes so well with your sky shots.
Do you think the music of our teen eras gets imprinted in our brains? I still like it best.
OMG - those pictures are stunning!!!
The clouds are such a luminous pink/peach made even more lovely shot over the lake. Great!
The music is fantastic and one of my all time favorites and listened to it just a little while ago. This is so exquisite and other worldly! Gorgeous colors! Glad I got back from Texas in time to enjoy it!
Have a lovely weekend, Deborah!

Lovely photos. It has been quite a while since I listened to that song, thanks for jogging my mind. It's nice to meet another Canadian blogger via Sky Watch.
Dating myself here... That album was a favorite.
They look like someone cut them.
Your beautiful pink clouds remind me of a flying squirrel! The lake is an added bonus.
Beautiful photos (just saw you over at Nature Loving Super Mama's) and saw that you have ties to the Upper Peninsula. That's where we're living, on the shores of Lake Superior now...
That really is a very serene sunset.
I love that song too. It's been a while since I've heard it. Thanks for sharing.
And the FLUTE part that I like to play along with!!
Great photos AND song choice ;-]

The clouds are cool.
A wonderfully gentle descent of night upon the world.
I can see the humidity carried in those clouds; I like the textures the best -- so dreamy.
Beautiful. That first shot is perfectly framed.
Simply LOVELY post ;--)
Thanks for visiting my sunset mosaics at Sacred Ruminations.
Hugs and blessings,
This cloud is like a comet with a very long tail.
Wonderful. Clouds and their sky reflections are always special. MB
beautifully captured shots....lovely!
Very nice.
Beautiful- excellent music choice!
Love Knights in White Satin! Love your skywatch photo with the pink puffy clouds training across the sky. Sail on silver ship over the waters. You've captured such lovely colors in this shot.
So very beautiful!
