Last night there was an interesting combination of clouds over the city. Light swirls on top that were reflecting the colours of the sunset and then dark horizontal slashes below them.
They looked quite dramatic in their own right but when you add the city skyline in dark silhouette it is even more striking.
When I see the city like this I understand why it is always used as the location for Gotham City!

It really changes the feel of the photo when you zoom out and include the city Skyline. I had no idea that was the city they use for Gotham City! Stay safe!
Terrific series of photos. Perfect SWF post!
Wonderful photos of your city! Lovely dusky clouds.
very interesting sky watch, love the colors
I didn't notice the city until I expanded the photos. Great shots!
These are very beautiful, but the leaves below are amazing. Lovely, lovely photos. Thanks for posting, and happy SWF!
I agree. The city skyline just makes these photos.
Especially when you add the city lights as well.
Hi, Celeste. Thanks for stopping by to meet my herd. Your post below about the headstart program for turtles was fascinating!
fantastic photos!
Wonderful series!
Beautiful colors and you are right, the skyline makes it all the more dramatic...
Lovely scenes for SkyWatch! This is Chicago, right? I once went up to the top of the John Hancock Bldg......I think I see it there. Greetings from Iowa.
Very dramatic photos!
We live in the mountains of New Mexico and haven't been to a big city for years. The highest building we have around here...are barns! lol!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful skies...and skyline, too.
Oh! And I stumbled over here from another blog where I saw your comment about liking llamas.
We have two llamas, and if you'd like to see a video of just how special they are you might want to visit my blog and see my "Double Trouble" post. It's really cute and I think you will smile :)
