Sky Watch Friday 9/5/08

Sky Watch Friday now 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 373 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or above.

This is from the shore of beautiful Lake Hodgson on my drive to work.
I tried to get this shot from several views and I liked these two best.
I continued on and and the Sun rose on my drive.
It turned foggy in the mountains of PA and I was given this view. I thought very eerie.
Then I captured the reason behind the Sky. There is a green alien UFO if you follow the beam to the left from the Sun before the wavy contrail. Maybe Dewdrop can explain this one. LOL What a strange Sky for Sky Watch all in one morning.

Fishing Guy, these are awesome. What a beautiful view in those first two, and how amazing that the sky changed so much in such a short time in the other photos.

Lucky you to have such a pleasant view on the way to work. :)

Very nice series of photos.

Those top two are simply marvelous. I like pinks in the sky. The greys in the later ones are quite dramatic. So wonderful to see the sun rise!

Photo Cache said...

I like coming here because you sky shots are beautiful.

Quiet Paths said...

Wow, all of these could be one post for Sky Watch. I can't pick a favorite altho' the eerie one is very interesting. So many wonderful textures and colors....

Cath said...

You get these shots in your driveway?
Wow.

Glad the UFO didn't spirit you away...

Leedra said...

You did good. Hard to pick which one is the best, can see why you showed them all.

Ramblings of a Villas Girl said...

Wow! If I had a view like that for my ride to work, I wouldn't mind going. Very beautiful.

Enigma said...

All are incredible shots -- especially since taken all one morning. A changing sky moves one's very soul. VERY nice. Mine is up, too. Hope you will drop by and say hello.

SandyCarlson said...

The sky offers so much--so many colors and moods.

Kelly said...

They seem to getter better and better with each and every one! Can't even decide which I like the best! They each have such lovely images! Great series of photos as usual!

And what a beautiful view to have first thing in the morning - or at any time! Lucky you. So did you stop the car at the side of the road? Or did you do a drive by shooting, so to speak?

Beautiful series of SWF photos, FG! That lake would easily be one of my favorite fishing spots.

Kostas said...

Marvellous photographs with very beautiful landscapes! Congratulations!

Willard said...

You captured a beautiful series of sky shots. Well done!

Columbo said...

I loved you series of sky shots. I loved the first two the most. You got some awesome photos. Thanks for the posting.

SaraG said...

Beautiful photo's!!

Craver Vii said...

I like this progression of photos. They're beautiful.

You realize of course, that the green spot is not a UFO. No, it is actually a cloud fart. That's quite a remarkable thing that you captured it, because clouds are exceptionally bashful. ;-)

nonizamboni said...

awesome collection -- what a way to start the day!

Toni said...

Amazing change from beginning to end! Nice way to capture :)

 gmirage said...

Lol about the UFO.

You always have a beautiful set of sky to share with us!

Sorry to have dropped by so late, but its still Friday from my part of the globe. Visiting from Vienna Daily.

Gemma Wiseman said...

Love this sky collection! Always enjoy seeing the varied moods of the skies!

Marie said...

Beautiful photos :)

Coy Hill said...

Lovely series with the first shot simply incredibly beautiful, excellent composition, framing and exposure.

Thanks so much for your comment on my political post. There is no doubt that many Americans are hurting because of misguided policy. I listened to McCain last night and although he promised change I also heard making the Bush tax cuts permanent, new corporate tax breaks and more of the same broken health care system. I guess I'm still in the undecided column.

It's amazing the shots one can get that are all so different in a short period of time. You did a great job! The Brad Paisley concert sounded good also. I'll have to catch him next time he's around. You gave a good overview which I enjoyed. Happy SWF and have a wonderful weekend!!

WOW!!! 98 comments my friend! That's pretty awesome.

Now..... you must stop doing this to me!!! Do you know how bad I want to come 'home' for a visit? Those first two shots are fantastic - the first one is my favorite (I love it). *Sigh* I wonder how much the train tickets are right now - I could ride in to Alliance......

Capt. Ben said...
