Moon Over Red Lodge - Painting by Mother Nature

Moon Over Red Lodge - Painting by Mother Nature

I love watching the paintings of Mother Nature in the sky here in Big Sky Country. Each morning at sunrise and each night at sunset is a different painting. The following photo is a sunset painting taken in Red Lodge, Montana on August 2, 2009. Thank you Mother Nature!

Here is a close-up of the moon on that same evening.

Gary, I could stare at that cloud until the sun went down! Exceptionally beautiful cloud photo. And the moon rising is striking as well.

And this is why they call Montana "God's Country"...very, very beautiful! I'm glad I got to see these. thanks for sharing them!

Maria,

Thanks for the positive feedback. It sure was interesting to stare at that cloud formation and seeing the clouds take various hues of white, red and purple at sunset.

Mara,

You are welcome. Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comment.

Ooooh nice ! That first one with the cloud is mesmerizing !!!

Great stuff Gerry !

Sheldon,

Thank you! That is why I thought it to be fitting to include it in the Group: CLOUDS AT ACTIVERAIN (clouds attached) :)

Now aren't those some of natures beautiful works of art!

Gerry, Those are two great photos. Thanks for sharing them with us.

The first pix makes a mountain look like a molehill.

The second makes outer space look warm and inviting.

Maybe you could send the latter to NASA to help them drum up support for more funding.

Mara's got it partially right...or why is our state's slogan..."Montana. Big Sky Country."

This photo just proves it. And what a great capture.....beautiful and breathtaking!

Neat pictures Gary. Looks like some really beautiful country...

Helping you live your American Dream...

The first picture reminds me of some of the scenes surrounding Mordor in Lord of the Rings when it was starting to become active in the Fellowship of the Ring. It was on TV this weekend.

Nice pictures.

Hi Gerry, Good post. Thanks for sharing.

Best - Sash

Hey, Gerry. By far one of the best photos of the moon. Thanks, Jim

Gerry - I hope you don't think I am featuring your post because of your comment, I featured it before I even read it!

Both of these photographs are breath-taking and what size mm did you use to capture the moon so big, 400?

Liz,

I think nature's works of art are amongst the best! :)

Gary,

You are welcome.

Jim,

Thank you for your comment and the chuckles.

Thom,

Nice to see you again here on AR. Thank you for the positive feedback.

Michael,

Simply gorgeous country!

Marc,

Thank you for your comment.

Sash,

You are welcome. Thank you for visiting this post.

Jim,

Thank you for the compliment and for being a repeat visitor to my blog.

Vegas Bob,

It was a combination of zooming on the photo (I believe my camera can zoom up to 12 times) and then cropping it using Picasa. Thanks for the feature. I love the Clouds at Activerain group! :)

Debi,

The shape and postitioning of the clouds above the mountain (Mount Maurice) are what captived me in the first place to take this photo. The sunset lighting and painting of the clouds sure added to the overall appeal of this photo. :)

Debra,

Thank you for visiting this post and for your nice comment. It was also my reminder to get back and reply to all the nice comments I had received in this post over the past 3 weeks. :)

Gerry,

My goodness...that is stunning!
