Sky Watch Friday

Just a little offering for Sky Watch. Sky Watch is a meme to join and share your photos of the sky....believe me, I see some awesome shots every time I start visiting.
These top three photos are more from when we went up north last week to Willow Slough and Jasper-Pulaski Wildlife areas.
It was sure awesome to see the sky changing the way it did. And I loved the silhouette effect it gave everything.
Now this bottom photo was taken just last night on the way to Terre Haute...it was definitely on the way to being dark when we decided to run down there. I told Roger I was taking my camera cause I always regretted it when I didn't.
I only took about a dozen shots and this was my pick of them. I was shooting out my side window and when you going 55 mph down a highway, with telephone poles, it is hard to take pictures between them. Or at least it is for me...some of the time. I honestly think that sometimes they are a bit farther apart...but maybe it is that we just aren't going quite the speed limit.

Anyway, if you want to join, or just check out the views from around the world, click on the badge at the top of the page. Also, these photos should all enlarge and I think the bigger they are, the better.

  7. Great shots and wonderful colors for skywatch Friday.

    Thanks for the good words, I love your owl shot, I just have not had that kind of luck yet. You mentioned your sandhill cranes, I have some planned for the next couple of weeks I photographed in Florida.

    I love those wind turbines and that last shot is just plain gorgeous! Hard to believe you got that out your side window - impressive.

  18. Trust me. It's tougher to shoot when you're driving.

    Nice job on these -- driving or sitting. Looks like the power station was off line though. What's up with that?

  21. Such beautiful skies! Love the windmills. We flew over fields full of windmills coming home from Tucson and I forgot to ever post them. Those giants are so interesting to see both on land and from the air!

  23. A fine series of drive-by shots. The wind turbines are always so deceptively larger than they tend to appear at first glance. Nice post.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Nice photos! I like the first two when viewed together because the size relations flip flop despite perspective remaining fairly similar. Splendid colors too!

  28. It is so neat to see such an orange hue sky for a change, aside from the typical blue. Great captures!

  29. Those are just gorgeous! What a beautiful evening it was with all the clouds and sunset and a touch of fog.

    Last nights high speed shot was pretty too. I always regret not taking my camera everywhere too :)

  31. WoW Gorgeous sunsets!!! It's been a while since I was in Indiana & all those wind turbines weren't there then - there's so many of them in that one shot!

    Thank you very much for stopping by & seeing my lil Jilly - I'm so happy I got to see her!!! Today was a really really good day - I got to see Jilly & then my friend from grade school stopped in from Florida to see me too that I haven't seen in a couple of years AND the weather was sooo nice on top of it all!!! Great Day!

    Good shots through the car window! The last one was my favourite - very special clouds, colors and light!

  35. Super subjects for skywatch; and for going down the road they are really good. I like the colors... it has an other worldly feel to it. Thank you.
