Sky Watch Friday


Join us and show your skies today. Sky Watch is hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise and I want to thank them for their time and efforts so that we can each enjoy skies from all over the world. And remember March 21st is Harmony Day in Australia -- wouldn't it be great if it could be Harmony Day all over the world! Everyone Belongs!

I don't have anything to equal the spectacular storm cloud photos of last week, but our skies here in Seattle are always beautiful and sometimes different!

X marks the spot! I walked out of the house and there were vapor trails criscrossing across the sky. Click on them to enlarge and see more detail in the texture.


This one looked as though it was pouring some kind of grainy solution into the cloud below! Oh, I know! I am all too imaginative! But look closely!

And then toward the end of the day the soft, lovely deep shades. I do love our skies!

  2. Sometimes the sky can be so busy with all those trails! You've got the makings of a nice plaid - minus the colors!

  8. No, Peggy, no specific settings, just point to the photo with your mouse and do a regular click, doesn't have to be a right click. I just tried it on the photo with my mouse to be sure and it immediately enlarges it.

  12. These are all spectacualr, but the top two blow me away! I love the way the flare from the sun mirrors the intersection of the contrails. That's just awesome!

  25. I love all the lines in the top shot!!

  26. The jet trails and electric lines work so well together in the first one, but I do love your clouds, Sylvia, I always do. The colours you get in the evening are so lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Contrails can add some interesting features to the sky.
    All I've seen today is GRAY.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Wonderful! It looks like the planes were trying to decorate your sky.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Sylvia: What neat clouds you have captured, I'm glad you shared all these neat shots.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh my, what busy skies you have with all those vapor trails!

    ReplyDelete
  31. You difinitely had a busy sky that day. A lot of people think some of these contrails are not what they appear, that they're dangerous. I don't know about that but some of the blogging about it makes you wonder...Happy SWF!

    ReplyDelete
  32. All of those contrails are neat. I enjoyed the pics!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Maybe that one cloud is sending a special delivery package to the other cloud. ? :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. very cool shots. I posted a similar one awhile back on my blog.

    x marks the spot right...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Unusual occurrences in the sky?!
    Great captures.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Lovely clouds and all those lines.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Tic tac toe anyone!
    Spectacular images - each and every one.
    Loved the crispness of the contrails and that last image is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The last one was the one for me. You found so many things that the clouds were capable to do.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I like these geometric crosses against your blu sky.
    And I'm a little bit too much imaginative too when watching at the sky. We both have our head in the clouds. I always find a new story relating to a different sky.

    ReplyDelete
  41. The clouds and contrails really do match up great in your photos! And a touching post on the illegal adoptions.
