SkyWatch ~ Ploughing the Sky


Driving towards home I watched these great furrows appear
and hoped I could still catch them as I only had my mobile
(low resolution camera) with me.


I dashed out of the car, did a diving tackle for my camera and
was out there shooting and only just got some snaps off before
the Great Ploughman called it quits and went for lunch.


I think He was thinking of lunch anyway as the furrows became
more crooked and thickened into a move uniform cloud cover.


One last look at the blue and white summer sky and the show
was over.



Dear friends, I must once again ask you to show forbearance

so my commenting. Please do leave comments it you can for they
invariably brighten my, at the moment, rather stressful days.

  2. What a fitting title plowing the sky. Beautiful and stunning photos here. It resembles the snow outside my window very well. I hope your days become less stressful. Take Care.

  3. Interesting that the sky in your photos look like a plowed field. I need to look up more often, too busy always looking down these days (too much snow and ice).

  5. Hallo Arija,

    wunderbare Wolkenformationen und Bilder bei denen nichts vom Himmel ablenkt.

    ... und vielleicht kann ich dich ja irgendwann auf einen Kaffee an der Alster einlanden.

    Wünsche dir ein wenig Ruhe und ein schöbes Wochenende.

    Liebe Grüsse

  15. I enjoy skies that show such interesting shapes. It's so much fun to see how the sky can play games with us =)

    I'm sorry things are not going so well. I understand the stress even though it may be different in my world. I haven't been feeling so good, and doubt I'll ever be the same again but I thank God each day I can open my eyes and say hello to the ones I love. I pray that somehow, life will be better for you soon.
    Know that I'm thinking about you, my friend. Hugs and kisses♥

  28. Magical fields in the sky!

    Isn't it amazing what those little cameras can do nowadays? Not five years back, we had to fork over a fortune for cameras way inferior. I recently happened to be at Hawelka sans camera (to top this, I was with two photographers!) and tried my hand with my cell phone camera for the first time, with the help of the kind waiter. I was surprised about the quality of the pictures, even though I just "shot" - very atmospheric images came of it.

    Hugs,
    M.
