WHAT IS THAT?

in #photography9 years ago (edited)

I was just sitting down for breakfast this morning when I noticed something strange across the street over my neighbour's house. I ran to get my camera before it disappeared and captured these images:

It seems to be one of those rare photographic opportunities where everything falls into place just right.
There is nothing unusual about the water vapour form the furnace vent condensing to form a cloud (looks like smoke). What is unusual is the angle and position of the Sun behind the trees! Apparently, there is a gap between the branches of the tress that allowed a beam of sunlight to strike and reflect off the water vapour cloud and make it look like some sort of fireball. The Sun was still very low in the sky which gave it an orange tinge like we often see at sunset. Nothing worth calling the authorities about, but nevertheless, an interesting phenomenon that I thought was worth capturing.

Fantastic photography good click photo my friend @happyme

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Great pictures my friend!

I full voted even with the trail because they are deserving!

Smoke over water and fire in the sky :D


If you send me the markdown file i can check for you usually is a wrongly closed or missing an enter.

Thank-you. Can I send via telegram?

You did :D
I'm going to send you back a TXT file but what i did to fix it was remove all the spaces between the pictures and the tags....

Try it and let me know if you don't succeed and DARE to open my TXT file i'll send it to you by telegram hehe

Many thanks! That did the trick. I remember having an issue before and in order to fix it I had to ADD spaces. Now for this I need to remove spaces. How odd.

Good never got around making the TXT file... I guessed you would not open it anyway hahaha

I've just sent you a Telegram

Oooh, that looks so cool!
[insert some complex physics words here describing the reasons behind this phenomena]

I thought so too. I just had to take those pictures and share them. I've never seen anything like that before.

Woah. That's super cool. At first I saw the pics and just thought it was a picture of some fire... Love it when you're in the right place at the right time to capture something brilliantly unusual! :)

I've been living in the same house for longer than some Steemians have been alive and I have never seen that before, so it is something that is kind of rare. Or I've just not looked out of the window at the correct time before! Anyway... yea... fire in the sky. Very unusual for me! I'm glad I was able to capture that phenomenon. Its like the recent solar eclipse. I feel very lucky to have witnessed it in person and was able to capture some images and share them with the world. I'm one of those people who doesn't often enjoy something on my own... I need to share the experience in order for it to really count.

Ah well steemit is the perfect place for that!

It makes you feel so lucky to witness these kinds of things. I would have loved to have seen the recent solar eclipse. I did see a full one back in, ohhh, 1999 maybe. Spectacular, one of a kind experience. :)

I watched for the same effect this morning and it tried, but failed to provide the same strong orange colour that is in the photographs. There was a slight tinge of orange and mostly I just got blinded by the sunlight! The angles were just ever so slightly off this morning and it wasn't even close to being worthy of taking pictures. Now I really feel like I was a witness to something spectacular.

If you got to see a full eclipse, then you are luckier than I am! We only had a partial eclipse here. If you are interested in my pictures, here is the link: https://steemit.com/photography/@happyme/today-s-solar-eclipse
