Sunset Boxing Day 2007 Upminster, Essex
Earlier this year my family and I moved home. We'd been living in a two bedroom first floor flat in Romford (Essex) Town Centre. I myself had lived there for nearly thirteen years, I was only 21 years old when I bought it. While reading the Sky Watch entry for this week I thought back to all the beautiful sunrises I saw there and felt sorry at not seeing them any more and curious to why I don't get so many of them at our new home. So with this in mind I hunted out some of the photos I took from the front room of my old flat to do my Sky Watch entry for this week. In some ways I always marveled at how if we looked one way out the window you'd never guess we were slap bang in the middle of the town centre and that according to the police at times we had the highest amount of anti-social behaviour in the borough outside our doorstep.
Oh and even though I miss those sunrises I wouldn't give up our new home for anything. :D
Happy Sky Watch Friday everyone and have a lovely weekend.
And in case you didn't pick up on the links please visit the Sky Watch Friday blog there are so many wonderful friendly talented people there. Ta.

oh, they are all so beautiful! Happy SWF. :)
Sunset is always romantic and marvelous!
I liked very much this post!
Have a happy weekend!
Very beautiful SWF Post! Bravo! Cheers, Klaus
In the past I always lived where the sky was a canopy all around. Now we live in a bottom and it has been hard missing the sun rises and sets too. But they are only a short trip away. I relate to your story. Ya miss it when it's not there. Nice shots.
You'll have other photos, and I'm sure you'll catch sunrises from different locations. How are the sunsets at your new place?
These are pretty stunning shots.
It's scarlet/jamjar's blogs I 've seen you on. Have to catch up with your blog.
nice series on sunset photos for swf.
These are lovely.
Marvellous pics! Specially that third one with the clouds right in the middle.
Ah, see I'm unknowingly introducing people to your blog... heehee...
I love the sunset shot - although right about now I've had the sunset and then about an hour later (after an hour of complete darkness) it turns orange... Creepy.
Ciao

Thanks for sharing the thought process that led to these beautiful post. These are wonderful.
Hi! Vey nice photos again, I like the colors, red and brownish! Happy sky watch and week end!
Beautiful sunset!
It's true not many people get outside these days in communities.I live in the country and rarely see my neighbors out.
Thanks for visiting mine.
Each one of your photos is very special and different! The sky is just amazing. If you don't like what you see...just wait a minute as it's always changing and you never see the same sky twice.
Very nice sunset, beautiful colours and also liked the other sky pictures very much!

So sorry I missed thanking you for the lovely Sky Watch comment you left on my blog the week before last. I've just been catching up on things and hope that you'll take a moment to stop by and see my contribution from last week too!
