Spectacular and intriguing
Scotty: Another masterful shot, you capture what only the mind could imagine.
the colors are beautiful even among such ruins
wow certainly destroyed, but a beautiful sky aftermath
It is as though nature has no idea of the death and destruction it has just visited upon the area. Quite an eerie sky, Scotty.
A masterful shot! WOW!

What an interesting mix of beauty and tragedy. The colors are beautiful!
It is so hard to believe that in such destruction there could also be such beauty. This is an amazing photo.
Have a wonderful weekend of beautiful skies!

That's just too surreal, but brilliant.
It's so surreal. Dahli could have painted it. Still, somehow there is always beauty after disaster. If there weren't, who could go on?
It's a strangely beautiful photo of such a sad scene.
Surreal is a good description. Beauty and tragedy.
Loveliness among the destruction.
A great contrast of the earth and the sky! What a wonderful shot!

"Louis" has been buried deeper than his cowbell in work - and will be for the next month or so. He hasn't paused to say 'hello' when he has stopped by.
No point in getting wordy, WOW!!!!!!
Cheers
You make all kind of things beautiful though your photos:)
Outstanding as usual. I caught up on the rest of them too Scotty. The sea eagle was a particular favorite. Pappy
Fantastic!!!
Your blog is amazing, I love your photos! I have been very busy, but now I will try to visit more often.
Your photos make my day :)
The Power of Nature.. both for good and bad. I think that is what we all find so fascinating and stunning about it.. thanks for sharing this Scotty and I hope that people realize how long AFTER the devistation to these families this picture was taken..
Oh, my.....what a scene. But, the sky is beautiful!
Happy SkyWatching!
Colours are unreal and so is the content.
Despite the disaster in Aceh, your photo looked beautiful and it looked exactly like a painting.
Good gosh! This is absolutely surreal. What an amazing photograph. I thought it was a painting.
Very nice photo. I am just now getting around. For some reason my computer would not let me open up the links from the skywatch page on Friday.
Amazing how even in devestation the mind has a chance to relax if only for a brief moment in a beautiful sunset.
Horrible destruction, but even in destruction things can be so absolutely beautiful. The colors in this photo are splendid.
That's a great title for a great photo!
