Just a few thoughts about this (totally unprocessed) picture:
The sky really was that pink tonight.
I almost missed it; I was taking laundry off the line, and I suddenly looked up and glimpsed the vivid edge of it. I wonder what other marvels I miss by not looking at just the right time?
In order to get this view, I had to run around the back of our garage and climb up onto a low wall that borders the farm next-door. As I angled my camera (and body) to get a better shot, I actually fell off the wall into the hedge. My first thought was to protect my camera . . . which I held aloft even as I hit the dirt. (Thank goodness no one has the photographic evidence of that "moment.")

Yes, the good photographer always protects the camera while falling. I commend you!
pure magic bee!
the sky is gorgeous despite its being associated with the image of your tumbling form, cartwheeling off a wall and all in the name of art!!!! but really seriously - and much more importantly - how are you?! thanks for giving your all for your blog!! steven
that shot is totally worth falling off the wall! It's beautiful! I've heard that "red sky at night sailors delight" but I have no idea what a pink sky means. You'll have to let me know tmro.
You have a really lovely blog! So nice to visit you here :D
Gorgeous! Definitely worth falling off the wall...
Totally worth it! ;-)
Ouch! Amazing colors.
Yes, I think it was worth it.
Blogging makes one look very carefully.
Do hope you weren't hurt?
the dusk, sunset, and taking laundry off the line give me a pang that is entirely sweet and bitter at the same time
Ah Bee
it was well worth it...
I now have my kids and husband ringing of their own volition, to inform me of photo opportunities...
we are all becoming more watchful...
I hope you are unscathed...
Happy days
Gorgeous photograph...made even more so because you actually risked your life to take it!!! Thanks!
Bee
Glad to know you did not hurt yourself and your picture--BEAUTIFUL!!
Tracy :)
Catalyst - Probably not cost-efficient in the long run, but it was my first impulse!
Steven - Yes, that's me; giving it my all! If I did do any damage, I can't see it. There are some scrapings on the backside, I think.
rxBambi - I don't know what a pink sky means, either, but I'm sure it's something good!
TheChicGeek - Thank you.
The Bug and CashmereLibrarian - Yes; that's what I thought.
ArtSparker - I know; and they only lasted for a few minutes, really.
Elizabeth - Yes, blogging/photography has transformed my life in that way.
Maggie May - YES! and add into that equation the cold, damp air rising up from the ground as darkness falls.
Delwyn - I love that phrase: We are all becoming more watchful. PERFECT.
Pamela - Maybe not life, but limb?
Thanks, Tracy.
It's those stolen moments of beauty that make a day great!
i know which fence you mean and i'm totally laughing, just thinking about it. i too would have moved to save the camera!! and what a GORGEOUS pink sky!! so worth falling off the wall!!
Lovely! Hope you came out unscathed. I have had a few lovely sunset moments like that recently, but didn't have a camera on me. Glad you had one handy!
Worth the fall;)
Ouch! But worth it for the amazing shot. That sounds like something I would have done. Did you find out what makes it that color?
Magic! :-)))
Truly magic, considering how you managed to safe the camera *igiggles* - I can see another blog there: The Fall and Rise of a Truly Passionate Photographer" - I could spill, er, contribute a few stories myself (only one camera broken so far!).
Heehee, I've done similar stunts myself, Bee! My worst one was while taking photographs at a market in Nigeria - stepped into a sewerage drain. Loverly.
Glorious sunset, wasn't it? Well worth falling into a hedge for such a stellar shot!
