Yet more sky images

 The sun and clouds are doing a pretty good job of spectacular recently.  Following a pleasant pastel sunrise on 13 June, there was an intriguing sunset on that day (the cloud led to 6.4mm of rain) o followed by an colourful sunrise, on 14 June including a moon!

The pastel sunrise, at 0706 hrs.

The sky got very cloudy late in the afternoon but a gap appeared over Karbeethong which was well illuminated by 1636 hrs.

At 1640 I switched to my smaller lens to get a wider view.  Mt Imlay is just out of the frame to the right.
This tales a view continuing to the left (West) of the previous image.
The sunrise on the 14th wasn't so unusual, but still attractive at 0644.
The moon enhances this image.
On the 15th there was a good collection of lenticular clouds (referred to by the Cloud Appreciation Society as 'lennies')  in the general direction of Mount Drummer.  The first one in particular has a good impersonation of a UFO!
A little later they were just nice to look at.

As I expected/hoped sunset was pretty lurid on the 15th.  For those interested, when I zoomed in on the bird it had a clearly forked tail, so it is a fairly close Welcome Swallow rather than a distant raptor (or Pelican)
