Sky Watch #17


trip to bangladesh 461, originally uploaded by airam94564.

I was digging through my archives for photos to post here. And voila, I found this aerial shot of coastal California that my dear husband took a couple of years ago. This picture I thought kind of hit two birds with one stone, skywatch and my world. I love those cottony white clouds scattered above our great state.

Happy skywatching. For more wonderful photos, here's where to find them.


THANK YOU RACHEL



Rachel generously bestowed upon this humble site, a butterfly award. I am extremely happy and grateful. Salamat po!

Love the coast line shot! I love shooting pics from airplanes. The fair weather cumulus look so playful from up there... like someone spilled cotton balls!

Oh that is a gorgeous shot nice. Happy weekend.

Gretchen said...

What an incredible photo! I need to dig out the ones we took while flying. Luckily, the paper paid for the trip. :) My son was 11 at the time and they let him fly for a bit. He thought it was the greatest thing in the world. Luckily, he was too young to take lessons and has since found other interests!

Tanya said...

What a view! Happy skywatch :)

Rocky Mtn. Girl said...

Gosh, that's so amazing way up there... I'm amazed at how things can look so pretty from that perspective! Very nice.
Hope your weekend is good!

I love arial shots. This was one is really nice and I'm trying to figure out what part of Cali that is.

Gail's Man said...

Fab aerial shot. Don't see too many such photos, due I suppose to people having to go up in planes or balloons!

Arija said...

That is a lovely shot with the clouds enhanced against the dark land. Love the line of white breakers on the shoreline dividing land and sea.
