SkyWatch Friday

Posted by Lorac Thursday, 12 November 2009

SkyWatch Friday


The skies here have been rather uneventful these last couple of weeks. Not that it hasn't been sunny the last week, it has! Just haven't been any where so nothing to see. I went into the archives and pulled out this pic from when I was in Holland visiting a friend. I had arrived that morning, was jet lagged and decided I needed a walk to clear my head. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw this!

The building where all the windows are reflecting the gorgeous blue of the sky which is once again reflected in the canal water! To top it all off, amidst it all is a quaint little  green skiff!




This pastel pink sky reflected in the lake looks warm and the baby blue bottom of the sky blankets the land.




Go to SkyWatch Friday for all the marvelous skies of the world. Enjoy the great hosts and  posts!

    The colours in the first photo are amazing - such a beautiful blues. The "mirror" looks like it was painted on it's so clear.
    The second shows how diffeent the sky can be. Thanks for visiting and your kind comments.
