SkyWatch ~ 32 The Hiding Sun

These are all taken from a very fast moving car.



The sun was in a playful mood
as we drove home today



she played at hide-and-seek with us
and just refused to stay



so in among the banking clouds
she hid herself away.



It is good to be back from the wilds and blogging
again. Only once did I have internet access, and
the signal was too weak to use.

Thank you Klaus and SkyWatch team for still
providing this great fun meme.

  1. That last shot is so nice,.. I can see why pilots have to fight the temptation to fly up through the "blue hole!"

  2. Excellent shots under difficult circumstances. I suddenly remembered that it's already Friday in Australia. It's still Thursday afternoon here in South Africa!
