| Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by Klaus and the Sky Watch team of Klaus, Sandy, Wren and me. Join us and the many people from all over the world who share theirs with us each week! Click on the address under the post title to be taken to the SWF website where you can sign up. I continue to be amazed with the view from my desk almost every evening in one way or another -- if there's anything worth seeing in the skies, particularly in the evening, then it will be visible from my desk! This was a sunset several nights ago over a period of about twenty-five minutes, maybe less, but it was amazing! Also amazing is the insight and wisdom of some people!! Economics is extremely useful as a form of employment for economists. John Kenneth Galbraith |
| Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. George Washington |
| Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power. Benjamin Disraeli |
| A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip. Caskie Stinnett |
| Whenever men take the law into their own hands, the loser is the law. And when the law loses, freedom languishes. Robert Kennedy |

What a gorgeous sunset!
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvia, what an interesting header you have this time. And the susets are brilliant. I'm not joining SWF this week, as I'm still settling back in Kenya with our South African cat. Have a wonderful weekend. Jo
ReplyDeleteOh wow Sylvia! How lucky you are to be able to capture such a magnificent sunset from your window, and how lucky are we that you share it! Gorgeous! Hope you have a terrific weekend.
ReplyDeleteBrief beauty is perhaps the most beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDramatic skies and wonderful quotes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteSo, your blog post gave me lots to do today. I forwarded one of your quotations to my husband and one to a blogger friend, and I visited your friend's page to tell her how much I love your blog-headers and ended up following her blog.

Some very pertinent quotes you collected there.
ReplyDeleteAnd those headers are priceless.
They are getting better and better.
Your sunset is glorious as well.
Like that last saying "if law loses, freedom languishes" -how true! And the warning the first saying holds, should be well taken:)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Sylvia skies! I saw some while on our trip to California last week and thought of you at sunrise!
ReplyDeleteyou have got really hip looking headers. kudos to your friend.
ReplyDeleteyou are one lucky lady to have all these beautiful skyscapes visible from your desk indoors.
Beautiful skies -- I love that you found such a perfect apartment; and thank you (or Blogspot or whoever did it) for adding that line below -- I think I'll be able to comment again. YES!
ReplyDeleteThanks too again for hosting SWF!
I love the new header!!! and your skies are gorgeous with all those lovely clouds. that Thomas Jefferson quote couldn't be more appropriate for these times. anytime I guess. have a great weekend Sylvia.

Those are beautiful skies, indeed. Such a treat to see sunshine! I hope you're getting ready for a wonderful holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery cool header, too. Your friend is very creative. I like the mix of photo and drawing.
your photos are gorgeous and i enjoy those quotes too. have a great weekend Sylvia.
ReplyDeleteLove your sunset, Sylvia! And the quote about the diplomat is oh so true. I should now, having been a politician myself. Thought I could at least try to make a difference but my familiy suffered from my efforts so I had to quit. I was tired of all the lies and deceptions anyway...But it was fun, though! As I can imagine how much fun you had, taking these breathtaking shots! Have a good weekend, Sylvia. And may you spend it in freedom.
ReplyDeleteTerrence looks at the sky
Wow haven't seen this sky for quite sometime.

ReplyDeleteI love the way you put pictures and quotes together

ReplyDeleteThat sunset with the GW quote is absolutely sublime, Sylvia. We really need to cherish the beauty and wonder of what we have in the natural world and in the one we create.
ReplyDeleteThe shot with your camera's reflections is darn cool, too. It makes you a part of the shot, and that is awesome.
Beautiful sunset and wise thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI do love your skies, Sylvia, and how the light is luminescent, at times appearing to have an interior illumination... Where is that switch?
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend, mon amie!
Bises,
