Sunfire ...

 “… Goodness gracious, great balls of fire …”

    ~ “Great Balls Of Fire”

   ~ 1957 popular song recorded by

     Jerry Lee Lewis

         ~ 1935 ~ 2022

     at Sun Records, Memphis, Tennessee

Sun Records is an American independent record label founded by producer Sam Phillips in Memphis in February 1952. Sun was the first label to record the great Elvis Presley as well as Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.

Great Balls Of Fire it’s a sunset Jerry Lee Lewis would love as a red sun sets amidst the trees in the surreal.

I created this image by blending my shot of the hazy red sunset of June 6, 2023 in the West End of Allentown, Pennsylvania with background texture by Jai Johnson for artistic effect.

The wildfire smoke from Canadian wildfires moving through the area caused the hot milky skies and orange haze in the evening sky that caused sunsets such as this.

Sunset Over Savannah ...

“Georgia, Georgia

The whole day through

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind …”

      ~ “Georgia on My Mind”

     ~1930 song written by Hoagy Carmichael & Stuart Gorrell and first recorded that year by Hoagy Carmichael. It has often been associated with Ray Charles a native of Georgia who recorded it for his 1960 album “The Genius Hits the Road.” In 1979, the State of Georgia designated Ray Charles’ version the official state song.

A beautiful late October sunset colors the southern sky over Savannah, Georgia ~ one of my very favorite cities ~ as viewed from my window seat on Delta Airlines. I snapped the view with my cell phone before landing at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Savannah and added background texture by Jai Johnson for artistic effect.

Surreal Wildfire Sunset ...

 “… Goodness gracious, great balls of fire …”

Sun Records is an American independent record label founded by producer Sam Phillips in Memphis in February 1952. Sun was the first label to record the great Elvis Presley as well as Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.

Great Balls Of Fire it’s a sunset Jerry Lee Lewis would love as a red sun sets in a beautiful field in the surreal.

I created this image by blending my shot of the hazy red sunset of July 20, 2021 at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, with background texture by Jai Johnson for artistic effect.

The wildfire smoke in southern Canada affected conditions very high in the atmosphere and caused the hot milky skies and orange haze in the evening sky that caused sunsets such as this.
