School Sky 2 - Skywatch Friday


Another school event, another evening sky. There was only the thinnest line of colour in sky when we came out of the musical evening.

But the texture in the clouds more than made up for the lack of colour.

I get the feeling anybody who says that dark clouds are grey needs to take a second look!







You can find more skies from around the world at SkyWatch Friday.



You can also see the most recent post on my other blog by clicking the Paying Ready Attention picture on the RHS of the screen.

Enjoy the skies.

  1. Beautiful series of sky shots. I love the first with the tiny bit of color and the last shot with the moon capture. Happy Skywatching, Stewart!

  2. Great stewart. It is always a good idea to take a long hard look at the sky, even when there is only for . . .

  3. We're so conditioned by the 'right' colours for objects - clouds are grey, trees are green, the sky is blue! All true - but not always!! Unless you've been playing with photoshop, of course ....!!

  4. Very expressive clouds and a lovely moon catch! Cloudy days are better for sky watching than just plain blue (and better yet than just plain gray).

    To answer your comment on FT-L, yes there are lots of fish in our waters -- River and Ocean.

  9. Beautiful. I can just about imagine God wielding a paint brush thick with a mixture of black and white oil paints angrily splashing it across the sky.

  20. That's an awesome sky, so dramatic. Great shots!
    I'm behind on returning comments right now. Re. the storm shots I posted last Tuesday: that's an automatic light house. The stairs are there for inspection purposes. Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to be inside it during a storm!

  21. Amazing shot indeed :) Great burning looks on the horizon, and the crowd of the clouds make it something "happening" there!

  23. Great skies, Stewart! The clouds are brilliant.
    I managed to capture some of my favourite sunsets for Skywatch Friday... the beach & boats just set it off... and the lovely weather that day (shame about the rest of the weekend... and missing the lunar eclipse was a shame)
