Sky Watch #12


Summer Fun, originally uploaded by airam94564.

Summer fun about to cut short as fog starts to roll in from the background. The blue skies has turned grayish and pretty soon it would be too cold to dip one's toes in the water.

Life has gotten too busy that I have completely forgot that today is the anniversary of that vicious attack on American soil. I join the world in pausing for a brief moment to say a prayer to those who lost their lives and for those they left behind.

Great statement about 9/11. What a tragic day that was... I enjoy your shot. Interesting the way the fog is rolling in...

PC: What a great capture at the end of the day at the beach.

Reader Wil said...

Your photos are very clear and inviting to take a swim! Well I'll wait till next year!. Thanks for your visit and yes you're welcome to have a cuppa!

Joy said...

People still seem to enjoy themselves. You're lucky where you are - summer's been and gone and we hardly felt it!

Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your kind comments.

Beautiful shot!~ It's really getting chilly over here and I can feel autumn too:) That's why I posted one from summer! It's HERE! Happy SWF!~

Love how the water becomes the sky - or is it the sky becomes the water? Very cool shot. And sobering remembrance.

Neat post for Sky Watch Friday. It looks almost like a postal card.

My Sky Watch Friday blog is at my Canon Pixels blog. If you have time I would appreciate your having a look at the sky peeking through the oak tree leaves.

Wonderful beach picture!

The colorful boxlike structures at my photo are changing cubicles (changing rooms?). You can rent it.

What a lovely inviting view.Thank you for sharing it with us.
My family and I endorse your comments regarding thoughts and prayers for all people concerned in 9.11.
So very very sad.

lovely coastline
i cannot imagine a day in my town when fog overtakes a summer's day and stops people from enjoying the sea, so this is quite an interesting concept for me!

Marie said...

Beautiful photo :)

ellen b said...

The colors in this make it look like a painting. What a pretty scene...

Quiet Paths said...

The motion and the colors of the waves on the shore are beautiful.

Titania said...

This is a beautiful beach scene, the colours are so strong, it is different. It really looks more like a painting; that was perhaps your aim!

Namnet said...

The colour of the water is almost the same as the colour of the sky. Amazing photo. Just love the colours and the way the wavelets are "shaped". Happy skywatching:-)

Arija said...

Beautifully crisp yet moody photograph. Lovely sea side snap too.

Jim said...

Oooouuie, your beach is prettier than the sky. Happy SkyWatching and thanks for your visit and nice commnent.

Leora said...

Love the water, the people having fun. It's a painful day; good to combine beautiful thoughts and people at the beach with the sobriety and mourning of 9-11.

Tere {Blessings in Life} said...

This is one beautiful summer shot though it somehow getting cold in here too but then not as cold as what you have there! I join you in remembering the victims of the 9/11 attack. I just remembered about it awhile ago when I saw live that breaking news on TV showing the plane crashing on the twin towers!

Eddie D. said...

Awesome...I think the water is cooler than the sky, though!

Woody said...

I was so enthralled with the beautiful blue water I didn't notice the fog till you mentioned. I'd of still been in the water till it rolled in probably.

Jules said...

The sky at the beach is always beautiful!!!

It is hard to believe it is 7 years -
the sense of horror is still raw.

napaboaniya said...

Summer fun under that sky :)
That beach sure looks packed!!!

Happy weekend! :)

Wren said...

despite your disclaimer, it's a far from ordinary photo. I wish I were on that beach.

Old Wom Tigley said...

This is a beautiful posting, the picture and the sentiments of the words come together so well...

I seem to have missed your posting for a week or so... I try to vist as many as I can, but Sky Watch can be so busy at time... we get questions and emails asking for help, then theres the links..

What I'm saying is I might not get around to all the links but I still appreciate the time and effort that as gone into each post..
