All in One Day!

My 5th Floor Window gives me a whole world on its own. Oh, not actually just a world but also a glimpse of the universe, a world beyond. I might have just been occupying a very small space in our building of 7 stories, but my window gives me special information otherwise not bestowed on others. The window gives me a very special privilege.

So who needs to go out on weekends? I certainly cannot trade-in the time outside, as I might miss my sunsets, or i will miss the birds alighting the tree just below my window. And the picture of the sky changes so fast, I might miss a cloud formation looming in the distance. So can you blame me for confining my body inside this four corners of space? 

I am showing you the changes in my west sky when I get out of bed in the morning till the sun sets. And these photos only happened in one day, 11 November 2012, to be exact. 


The tallest structures in my skyline are the Iglesia ni Kristo Church at the left, the television tower at the center and a condominium unit at the right. This is the wide angle shot at 6:30am, when i woke up.

 A larger shot of the Iglesia ni Kristo Church


this clouded sky is at noon

 my west sky started to change color immediately before the sun sets at 5:25pm, this is at 5:30pm


 a few minutes after the sunset, 5:40pm


the wide angle shot with almost 3/4 of the sky showing, dwarfing the TV channel and the condominium building


 It is a fiery afternoon, would you agree


 an umbrella tree at the distance has a beautiful silhouette

a coconut tree near it is fully illuminated too

and this is my window framing my line of view!

And the world for me seems so enchanting and magical at these few moments, till the world is again almost completely dark, only illuminated now with the worldly bulbs from streets and buildings. WHEW!!!

  4. Great shots of a dramatic sunset. My favourite is the sixth down.... that strong blue looks fantastic against those vivid oranges and pinks.

  6. Great to have a view from one's window - mine is not as outstanding as yours but suffices

  7. A beautiful documentation of your daily view. Well worth staying home for.

    Andrea, historically we too have had volcanos, just no eruptions during white man memory.

  10. Wow, with this to look at out your window every day, you are already blessed. You don't need a lake, though I agree it is a very different effect. Your pictures are soooo good and the sunset put on a magnificent show for you. The church is inspiring and historic ... not sure about a TV station in the middle of it. They couldn't build it somewhere else? But it is an interesting feature :) Love the pictures and so glad you came to see me. Will meet again soon ...

    1. Hi Andrea, it is a bit uncomfortable writing to someone also with my name! But I am glad because it is serendipitous, maybe! Yes I am blessed for having sunsets in my city home, and sunrise in my province home. I guess i just need a tripod for the moon, haha! Thanks for your kind words.

  21. The sunset is fabulous and you have such a nice view of it. It was interesting reading your previous post about the different types of ladybugs. I don't know if we have such diversity in northern BC.
