SkyWatch - This and That


To look at this, you would think there is nothing
much going on in the sky


just turn your head a little and the picture is entirely different.


Although it looked great, that is all it did.

  1. Hehehe! That is all it did. I have to admit, I had my head buried in the sand at work and even worse, I cannot get over this illness I have - awful awful URI. I have not noticed the sky, nor the trees, nor...I need to go out this weekend. Have a lovely weekend dearest Arija! Tsup!

    2. I am well now. I have been very sick, I was bedridden with a terrible flu at the end of flu season. My vaccine did not work. I am well. Thank you. I love you! Tsup!

  3. Liebe Arija, ich mag solche "Himmelsbilder". Es ist ein stehtes sich Verändern, und dennoch bleit der Himmel Himmel. Wäre es bei uns Menschen auch so, währe die Menschlichkeit noch weitgehend intakt...

    Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz

    1. Sehr viele Menschen sind mir unverständlich. Da haben wir diese wunderbare Welt und sie wollen nur alles zerstören und einander auf die Köpfe hauen!
      Danke für Deinen Besuch. Du weißt ich freue mich so sehr wenn Du aus Deiner friedlichen Schweiz bei mir vorbeischaust.
      Liebe Grüße aus dem trockenen Düs Australien.

  4. Broken promises, but beautiful skies.

    Our clouds need to talk to your clouds. Ours know all too well how to let their precious cargo fall at the drop of a hat! ;-)

    1. Wouldn't it be wonderful to simply say "give me your rain, I'll give you my sunshine"? Unfortunately, life is not as easy as that.
      If only we could pick up someone else's burden for a day, a week or a month and let them have a rest . . .

    1. Unfortunately Barb, it was only a ruse to make us hope.

  11. I wish! We cooked on it at the shearer's quarters at Wirrealpa Station in the wilds of inland South Australia. Google Wirrealpa and have a look.

  12. Always like to look at the sky, always different and beautiful. Yes your header is great, the fire is going the soup is ready soon! I had one like it in the old farmhouse, a tea kettle like this was there too...I wonder where they went?
    Best wishes, T.

    1. Probably hid themselves among the single socks. They'd be worth a mint today.

  13. Oh my - both of those photos are stunning. I am always fascinated by the very different view of the sky you can get by just shifting your viewpoint. Often it looks as if the shots are taken on different days, or different places.
    Have you had ANY rain yet? We are still being promised rain - but it hasn't yet happened.

    1. We had 10 mm in the space of three days about 10 days ago and then some hot and very windy days, like today and it has all gone back up into the atmosphere.

  14. Love when the sky is filled with these huge billowy white clouds--almost like they could cover the ground.

  17. I like to look up at the blue sky with flowing and ever-changing formation of clouds, where I think the simple truth of life exists. I feel as if the coluds falling down in the second image.

  18. You still need rain! But how beautiful the sky was even in its 'do-nothingness.'
