SkyWatch - Late afternoon sky


Coming home from my specialist's appointment
I stopped at the post office to collect our mail

As I turned back from the PO boxes,
I saw this glorious sky


slightly to the lest it turned to zebra stripes


by the time I got to where the road has our
paddocks on both sides,
I let the dog out to run the last mile
and started shooting again


the light was splendid and the dog raring to go
but I just could not stop shooting


 to top it all off, a little video, just because I could . .
all are phone shots undisguised in any way.


Click to enlarge and enjoy!
Oops, for some reason the video did to load as video,
looks like I still have to learn a few things . . .

    So ein schönes Wolkengebilde, da glaube ich, dass Du Deinen Fotoapparat nicht einfach liegen lassen konntest !
    Wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende, Arija.

    What beautiful skies, Arija. Thanks for sharing. (I tried to see the dog, but obviously he was Gone with the Wind!) Blessings, Jo

    A wonderful sky Arija - my little grand-daughter would refer to it as "very curious" I've tried to load videos onto my blog but they never work so if you find the magic formula please let me know!!
    Hoping you have a lovely weekend.

    When I was a little girl in parochial school, we used to get Holy Cards when we did something well; your second picture here looks the way those cards would represent God's blessings coming down from 'on high'. I don't believe that anymore, but I can imagine how a long time ago people would look at a sky like yours and think exactly that. A miracle of skies !
