We had some free time in Moab and took a walk just as the sun was setting.
The golden light was captured by the highest of the red rocks.
The clouds were white cobblestones on a blue highway.
Kokopeli rushed to take one last ride.

Terrific captures, Martha! I do LOVE the last one! Lovely, lovely skies and clouds! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Kokopelli's bike ride makes me smile.
Beautiful evening -- Kokopeli is perfect there isn't he?
I was curious if you had free time built in to the tour -- that would be a necessity for us.
Wonderful sculpture in the third photo, Martha. And the light in the first photo is exquisite.
I love the textured skies and the sculpture is great.
Great skies and great bike ride. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Some queries:
Is that stone structure in your header manmade or natural?
I keep on meaning to ask. It looks like a Giants' rubric cube :-)
And what is that fabulous sculpture on the bike?

Yes that stone structure is an interesting form, will you tell us more about it one day
Thanks for sharing your photos with Sky Watch Friday
Beautiful views of Moab, although I do not think there are any bad views to be had there , so scenic!
your skies have beautiful drama to them. that second one is extraordinary. have a great weekend.
I really don´t know which one is more strong and beautiful

Wonderful series of skywatch shots. The last two are my favorites.

Those granite boulders are along our favorite path through our community. They intrigue me and I have taken many photographs of it, this is my favorite.
The sculpture is of Kokopeli, a southwest native American demi-god. It is a popular motif in the southwest and this was on a side street in Moab.
Wonderful shots of those beautiful skies. I love them all
I love it when clouds form such shapes. Beautifully captured :D
loved the last one the most.

I really love that second shot, Martha. So unusual and such great color. I believe that you don't live too far from my grandchildren (they are in Wheatland), so I always think of them looking at the same skies when I see your photos.
Such a great post...I cannot wait for my husband to come in and to share it with him. Your scenic beauty is so different from ours. I love seeing your photos and experiencing the nature from your eyes.
the sky feels so high to be. beautiful.
please have you all a good friday.

wonderful series...love kokopeli on the bike!!!
What can I say? Gorgeous pictures! I love them!
I have a gloomy shot of The Struggling SUN , hope you can visit me as well!
Lovely colour in the photos and that last shot is so cute.
Bautiful pictures! The second one was amazing :)
Hi there - like the way the light catches the rocks in the first picture. So many of these types of shot could only be made in the few minutes when the light does that sort of thing - here one minute, gone the next.
Splendid picture.

Yes, white cobblestones on a blue highway sure describes that gorgeous sky! I love the Kokopeli the bike. :D
all 3 shots are so wonderful!!
I love the glow on the rocks
and the wispy bits of clouds
Beautiful skies in all, I love the backlight of the sculpture of the bike.
Beautiful pictures--I love the way the light is reflecting on the rocks in the first one, and I love your description of the sky in the second one. The third one is just "fun"!!!! Mickie :)

Great pics, amazing clouds, beautiful skies...
'Kokopeli' if you translate that into Finnish it's 'the whole game' :)
beautiful skies in these photos, lovely cloud formations. I also enjoyed your recent photos of all those rock formations in the various National Parks, fascinating geology!
I really love Kokopeli's sculpture.Its a huff and puff for me if I was to ride my bike!
Great timing for the sunset shot.
