Sky Watch Friday # 28

The new Sky Watch Friday is doing really well. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were 339 people last week with beautiful Sky photos. We had Mr. Linky problems so some couldn't sign in. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post.

Yesterday I showed a New Years Day photo and here are some more from the Winter sky. This was taken at 11:30 AM. I had some lens reflections from the bright Sun which I left in. It was 1:00 PM and the clouds had overtaken the Sun.
I was able to get a couple of angles on the Sun.
I then take you to the 6:30 PM sunset with some great colors in the sky.
Go to Sky Watch to see some great sky shots.

    The second and last are my favorites, but you have a wonderful collection. I am partial to an altocumulus stratiformus cloud structure. The pink and blue in the last are so delicately woven together. Awesome!

    The last one is especially beautiful. I believe it is going to rain this whole weekend and here I had been thinking that I would be able to get out to take some pictures.

    On the second one, I was amazed by the thickness of the clouds. It gives texture to your picture.
    That's a wonderful serie for Sky Watch.

    The second and third photo amaze. I don't think I've ever seen clouds like that; either in real life or even in photos. The textured look of the clouds is amazing.

    Thank you for hosting and happy SWF!
