Sky Watch Friday


A couple of days ago we had some beautiful cumulus clouds that kept changing -- one minute they would be vertical and the next, horizontal. It was fascinating to watch the whole sky change in the space of a few minutes, not in colors, but in direction.

Wow, it look likes somebody took a big handful of "powdered cloud" and blew on it! Incredible, dizzying!

What a very interesting sky, Sylvia. I love Deborah's description. It certainly captures it.

Susan at Stony River said...

They're arranged beautifully on the page: I like the change of direction!

You have such skies, Sylvia, always so beautiful. Thanks for sharing them every week, and happy skywatching!

I was going in the opposite direction from Deborah. I was thinking it looked like someone had taken a sky-sized vacuum cleaner and was trying to clear the sky!

Either way, it's a very dramatic shot.

Aren't those just the coolest? I find myself walking around with my head in the clouds (literally) a lot. Wish I had seen yours in person.

The pictures are great. Streaks of clouds. Interesting how they changed direction like that. I am thinking that the weather looks a whole lot better now then it did Sylvia. Blue skies are to be seen. Here's to spring.

Linda Reeder said...

The clouds have such a sense of motion. They leave me feeling expectant.

Linnea said...

I think we got some of those same clouds the other day...our sky was full of them, too. Great SWF pics!

Ann said...

That is just stunning, especially the third one.

marie-louise said...

Really special skywatch pictures of the sky and clouds. I like the way they change direction, must be quite a wind up there - Thanks for visiting my blog and become one of my followers - have a great weekend.

Light and Voices said...

Wowza! It looks like a dyson vacuum is sucking the clouds out of the sky into ????? Atmosphere seems to be going in a different direction not UP but DOWN perhaps to earth. You sure have an eye for photography.
