The Skyline In August By Peter Hulbert

All taken at the High Point at Thurlstone South Yorkshire

It all started of so calm at about 8.00pm on a August evening, but as expected, the sky would soon start to share it colours in such splendour with an array of splendid colour.

Below you will notice a flock of geese just taking off for their evening roost although I confess I do not know where that is.

Every sheep in the field ran away to the top of the hill for some reason, I hate the thought that it was me that frightened them but it probably was.

The sun is now starting to go down and the light reflecting on the clouds starts to glow red.

A very long and quiet road to the wint turbines, but the view from the top is stunning and worthy of the trip out.


As I approached my final destination, I was fortunate to capture a flock of geese just taking off for who knows where.

A slightly better view of the geese as they pass by to gain some kind of momentum and height to fly over the woods in the distance.


The light is slowly starting to fail and the night or early evening dusk is starting to take over, with any lucj we should get an orange or red sky shortly.



Above, you can see just how low the sun is at this moment but behind it shows that the moon is already up and reflecting the colour of the sun



The turbines look a little lost tonight against the bright setting sun shine.




Trying to capture the bright sun in itself is a task. However, for all the glory you get a payback by the appearance of dark wind turbines in the silhouette.



The sun sinking low whilst the moon appears on the horrizon gives some terrific colour in which to work with tonight.



If you look really closely, you will see in the centre a plane climbing up toward who knows where.



The sky is really begining to take affect now with the colours of the reflecting sun playing some wonderful tricks on the skyline.

Even the sheep are begining to change colour for what is a very brief moment of trickery caused by the sunsetting over the horizon.
