Sunrise

Sunrise is something rare for me to photograph. It seems I'd rather be tucked in my bed at that hour! Andy, somehow, managed to get me up & moving this past Monday morning. Actually the bribe of breakfast out worked well. We went to the top of Tuscarora mountain to watch the sunrise. The cloud cover was pretty heavy, but we managed to capture some lovely colors anyhow. Enjoy those colors with us for this week's skywatch. To post your sky or view what others have posted join us by clicking here.

A Welcome Break from Chores!

Thanks to my Skywatch friends who visited my blog & left comments last week. I looked back into files to get this weeks shot. After the cold, windy weather this week I considered a beach shot to help remember the warmth, but we will look at that another time (maybe during a snow storm). I remember an evening in August when I pulled myself away from my computer to attend to household chores. The first chore was loading the dishwasher. Approaching the sink I could not help notice the neighbor's trees & how the ruffled silhouettes were backed by the beautiful colors of the sunset. I grabbed the camera & ran. Now, I really do not like using a tripod, but I know how important it is in low light situations. Since I did not have time to mess setting up the thing I did next best. My car roof made a wonderful steady (& expensive) tripod. Not too many of this series turned out well, but I do like this one. Enjoy. To the sky from everywhere or to share your's click here.

A Beautiful Ending to a Beautiful Day

Last Saturday, as I was waiting for the tractor pull to begin, nature displayed a fantastic show. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous. Blues, pinks, & purples deepening & darkening until it finally was dark. WOW. I loved it, even made it worth sitting in the cold. The images are not the best. Darn power lines! Can live with um, can't live without em. Please enjoy. If you'd like to share your sky or view others click here.

Eternal Light Peace Memorial

This is another shot from our Gettysburg trip. Shown is the flame on top the Eternal Light Peace Memorial. This memorial overlooks the July 1 battlefield & was dedicated July 3, 1938, at the 75th anniversary of the Gettysburg Battle, to "Peace Eternal in a Nation United" by former Union & Confederate soldiers. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as speaker & pushed the button to light the gas flame. PA State Police estimate 250,000 attended & another 100,000 were stuck on highways in an effort to be present.

A post for another day will show more of this monument, but for today please simply enjoy the eternal flame backed by a beautiful sky.

SkyWatch Friday

Hi folks

Hopefully I did this correctly this time. I tried last week & just could not figure it out! Took this shot about a month ago while I was watching for the sunset & a big cloud covered the sun. Pretty nice, restful colors I think. Click the link below to post your sky shot.
