A little more than three years ago I put up my first blog post
little dreaming the great fellowship I would enjoy or the
following I would gather. I never thought my blog was anything
special but over 250 people seem to like it anyway. This is my
500th post and what more fitting than SkyWatch where Klaus
had to log me in for I had no idea how to go about it. I have
always photographed the sky so this meme came as a godsend
to me to show some of my work.
Below is a sunrise last week direct from the camera except for
resizing. All photos enlarge with a click.
The still dark sky as the sun makes up her mind to rub the
sleep out of her eyes.
Thank you all for accepting me so generously amongst your midst,
for becoming my friends who brighten up each and every day of
my life with your posts of other parts of the world that too are very
dear to me and I can no longer visit for myself.
Thanks to Klaus, Sylvia, Sandy and Wren for hosting this great meme.
You are a joy, Arija. I bless the day you started blogging. Blessings and congratulations. xx
ReplyDeleteI do love a good sunrise and some are just better than others. This one is glorious.

Hallo Arija, vielen Dank für Deinen lieben Kommentar zu meinem Headerfoto. Es ist mein Lieblingsbild aus dem vergangenen Winter, der sehr hart war. Es gefällt mir so gut, dass es auf meinem Kalender für 2011 zu finden ist. Außerdem habe ich es auch in Aquarell gemalt, denn dazu lädt es geradezu ein. Ein schönes Wochenende wünscht Dir Luzia.
