Sky Watch Friday has a new home and a life of it's own. Please check out the new sight and link in if you wish to participate. There were 326 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or above.
You can click on any photo to enlarge.
I realize I don't have the ocean to capture a sunrise against, so what do you do with a beautiful sunrise. I tried to make a capture and ended up with three. One before I started to work with the sun below the horizon. The contrails made a V, a great victory sign, very appropriate with the Olympics being one week away. I was half way to work when I caught this second part in my mirror. I obliged by stopping the car, parking it and getting out to capture this combination of the contrail V, the sun rising and a reflective pond.
I got to work and thought maybe around the back of the building the rising sun may be continuing. I present the third part of a great sunrise as it came over the trees.
As I continually say, 'Seize the Moment', no matter how fleeting.

Hello again FG, my doesn't the week pass by quickly. I love the story behind your images this week. I did similarly with mine chasing all over the suburb for a good viewing platform.
It amazes me that no matter how many beautiful sky pictures I see, or how many beautiful skies I see, there is always another that is more breathtaking than the last. Just stunning.
It was a good capture. Yes the Sun Pillar is spectacular and not uncommon - definitely a case of seizing the moment.
You don't need the ocean, your sunrise is beautiful already! I especially love the way you captured the misty reflection in the second photo, it's just gorgeous!
crossroads in the sky meeting the sun, the second is outstanding
Nice shots Fishing Guy. I cannot resist photographing con trails
You certainly DID seize the moment. Great shots!
Beautiful special sunrise. Congratulations.
That's what I call "Working a scene to its fullest". Great job, really like the middle one. Terrific photo. V for Victory. Save that for ABC Wednesday (V).
Great SWF.

What a great sequence of sunrise photographs. I would have had to pull over to and get that second shot too. Remarkable.
You certainly ceased the moment. Brilliant shots.
Wonderful shots with fantastic colors:)
I was lucky enough to get sunrise on the water this week. Love your V and that second shot with the sun at the bottom of the V is wonderful.
Beautiful, I love #2. You do well at capturing a fleeting moment. And to work on time I'll bet! :)
You certainly know how to carpe diem! I like the middle shot best. V for victory is right! You were victorious in capturing a nice series of sunrise shots!
Great you always your camera on 'standby' for us FG :) Gerat sharing !
Isn't it fun to watch the sun come up on the drive to work? Sometimes I have to catch it in my rear view mirror.
This one is so lovely...and a treat for us all. Thank you!
wow, the shots are just beautiful,
These are fabulous formation in the sky and a nice peek at sunrise.

the middle one's my favorite, looks like a bird flying, the sky changes so fast, it's great you captured their beauty before it disappears
Awesome sunrise photos!!
Three wonderful sunrise photos. The second one is my favorite. Gorgeous.

"Louis" has been buried deeper than his cowbell in work - and will be for the next month or so. He hasn't paused to say 'hello' when he has stopped by.
Wow that is spectacular and the V stands for very well done I love that first shot
Good morning, Fishing guy! You've captured beautiful sunrise moments. I love them all. I also enjoyed reading your Reasons for Blogging. I agree with you 100%.
I really like the midle one. Those cloud lines really make your composition and photo work! Happy week end and sky watching!
great shots! i love sunset.
Fantastic photos to celebrate sky watch friday. You know sometimes I look at other's photos with envy, they have lots of clouds and interesting skylines to create magical photos with while I only a plain blue sky every every day with sea, lakes, rivers and a point & shoot camera, but the thing that makes sky watch so much fun is what everyone does with their patch of sky.
Thanks for sharing your photos with us all and your kind comments on my blog earlier.
Good choices for skywatch.
