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.

    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.

    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.
