Sky Watch Season # 4 Episode # 24

Sky Watch Friday this is the place. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were a lot of people with beautiful Sky photos last week. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post. You can link a 3:00 PM EDT on Thursdays. SWF is run by Klaus, Louise, Wren, Sandy, Sylvia and myself.


I will show you yesterday's sunrise for 20 minutes as I traveled East.


The red in the cloud was from the sun coming up in the East.


This dark cloud became so much lighter as the sun approached the horizon.

It looked like the cloud wanted to engulf the sun as it approached the horizon. Can you see a face in the cloud?


The sun finally crested the hill and took over as the cloud backed off. What a great face in the clouds.


I hope you all have a great holiday season and the "Son" has risen for your Christmas.

    How did you manage to get to your destination with such amazing skies overhead? I'm glad you took the time to take pictures, and glad, too, that you shared them with your Skywatch pals.

    Merry Christmas!

    Your skies look beautiful especially the formation of a hurricane-like spouts.

    Your new snowy bird header is cool too.

    Must take time to say thank you for having me on board and for making my blogging worthwhile.

    all the best and have a safe blessed season.
