Time for Sky Watching!

It is time for Sky Watch Friday once again. It is almost a habit that is hard to break. I don't have any recent pictures , so I was thinking about ignoring the fact that it was Thursday. It has become such a habit for me, though, that I resorted to some photos taken earlier this year.

They are all taken within a very few miles of each other, and probably within 2 or 3 hours time.
The last two photos here were among my favorites, not saying that the others don't have merit. I just didn't do a good job in the first photo of capturing what I saw and though I have messed around with Photoshop, I cannot seem to recreate what I saw with what I took, so left it the way I took it.
If you want to join Sky Watch, click on the badge at the top or go HERE. It is a lot of fun to see the views from around the world and I am very thankful to the team that keeps this running. The team is made up of : Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, and Fishing Guy. Sky Watch Links officially open today at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

  2. They are ALL pretty. I LOVE the first ones. And I don't care if you took them 20 years ago! Beautiful. (I understand the habit, too. I feel like I'm missing out when I don't post.)

  4. Beautiful share - thank you! My favorite is where the clouds are boiling out of the sky in the 3rd shot. That's just stunning. The great thing about sky shots is that it doesn't matter WHEN you take them - they're still amazing. Happy SWF!

  46. Great photos, I particularly like the 2nd one, the clouds look like they could be in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the composition is nice with the road going off to the horizon and the telegraph poles and wires following it :-)
