I wasn't going to post anything for year-end or for the new year. Then I happened to look at some of my archived files, folders... And realised, the only photos I actually carried on capturing throughout 2021 (and in fact the entire pandemic period) were my sky shots. Sunsets, dawn skies, interesting clouds, any sky-thing at all!
Of course, it's also because I could just look out my front windows and shoot.... Didn't need to break lockdown SOPs and go out or anything... Something to be grateful for, I guess.
So, without further ado, I present... ~ my selection of skies of 2021. These aren't the best of each month but are unpublished, and I perceive as rather pleasing ones for each month of 2021.
Happy New Year 2022, everyone!!

Didn't mean to 'start' the year on a dreary note, but I somehow didn't see it as such. To me, it's always 'drama' skies...

Sun rays, and Hope...? Light from the heavens above...

And sometimes you need to zoom in close... when all is dark, the sun also shines, and there is warmth too!

Don't need 'drama' all the time... sometimes a lil plain sailing is good. It's all good...

My fav bare branch tree... with a sunset scene. The tree died finally, and the branches collapsed. All that remains is a shortened bare trunk - the birds and monkeys have lost their sunset perch...

Onto every sunset, a lil rain must fall... and when I can't open the windows fully (I take too much risk with rain droplets/spray on my camera already....), I catch raindrops on the window glass instead... I think they're pretty...

A black and white, of course! What's a sky scene collection without ONE monochrome version at least?! Storm's a-comin' in here...

'Drama'... 'drama'... 'drama'...
Here comes the fire in the sky, gold flecks on black, smouldering sundown

Dull? I find dull skies beautiful too, don't you?

Mother Nature decides to splash out from her palette...
Blues, yellows, pinks, greens(?) even black and white!
Why not? Why not have all spectrum of colours...

I love it when I get a clear(-ish) globe of the sun going down, especially behind trees...

Amidst the dark, there is Light and Hope, always...
And warmth, always...
