The sky was so interesting on the way to Asheville

On the road to Asheville a few weeks ago, the sky looked like there was a fire happening in one of the clouds. At first, it seemed as if there was gold in the sky, but a closer looked made me think of fire. Whatever it looks like to you, it is just beautiful to me. No clue what causes such beauty on days like that, but it was interesting to see! Are you one of the many people who like to take sky photos when you see something interesting?

I don't use a cell phone and don't always have a camera handy, but when I do I take them. Mostly sunsets...

If I have a high-resolution camera, I will take photos of beautiful cloud's formations in the sky. Last night, I had seen some clouds beside the moon face and I just appreciate seeing it.

@PatZAnthony I agree. We can use it but the photos with low quality.

You are right, it looks like there is fire in the sky. I have many photos of the sky, even the dark sky before the storm is wonderful.

@PatZAnthony Over the mountains or over the ocean the sky is always beautiful.

I'm guessing the sun is around there somewhere. I do love sky photos. Unfortunately I never have my camera available when I see one, and I'm usually driving so can't anyway.

@PatZAnthony Though mine has that option and I can use it, I can't do anything with the photos as I found out the first time I tried it. So the few photos I have on my camera, will stay there.

Humans are always interesting in the clouds and whatever is happening in the sky it seems @jstory07

I've often taken pictures of the sky. I find the sky in the NC mountains is so much more interesting than back here in the east.

Sounds like you had a good picture show on the way there. I do love the early morning sky and evening skies. All the lights can make for a great picture show.

Yes! The sky is such a good photo subject. Thank you for sharing that pretty photo. I know I have read the scientific reason behind the sunset colors before, something to do with the wavelengths of light ....

That's beautiful indeed. Yes I do it at times especially when I get to see rainbows

It looks like you took this at either sunrise or sunset, that's when clouds really shine and show off their colors.

When it comes to spectacular sunrises or sets it's almost necessary to have clouds @PatZAnthony without them it's almost boring.

I love to see skies like this, and I do like to take photos when the sky is especially beautiful or unusual. Some days don't have any clouds, so the photos opportunities aren't as exciting, but on other days I just can't stop shooting.

You are right, it does look like fire. Yes, at times I like to take photos of the sky if there is something I would like as a memory.
