Sky Watch #62
With all the destruction/calamity happening lately, i.e. worst flooding the Philippines has seen in 40 years, the earthquakes in American Samoa and Indonesia, sky watching takes on a more spiritual turn. While we skywatch, let us say a prayer or two for our brothers and sisters who are in pain, grieving, devastated, and lost.
SKYWATCHING is a weekly gathering of sky watchers and sky lovers. Please join us.
First of all, thank you for your thoughts. My family and I are fine. The earthquake shook the neighboring island of Sumatra. There are many victims, and we are already organizing relief efforts.
ReplyDeleteYour photo today is just magnificent! I'd love to be in this place.
Well said. I am appreciating more the wonders/beauty of nature now.
ReplyDeletebeautiful picture. love the color so refreshing
ReplyDeleteThere was a spiritual quality in this one that´s for sure. That guy made it complete and I can´t help but think that he was having good time.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful post here, love the tone of it, spiritual indeed as what chrome said.
ReplyDeletei join you in prayers too. we've felt the tremor of the earthquake here last night although i didn't actually realise that there was an earthquake until later that night.
ReplyDeleteWow. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot, and I find that I am always able to connect through my sky-gazing with our loving God. It's the way He and I usually talk. I have been faithful in prayer for all those impacted. What a nightmare...
ReplyDeleteI love this shot. So peaceful. Those caught in the terrible conditions will be in my heart and prayers.
ReplyDeleteWell said. My heartfelt prayers for those people.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo.

Really peaceful photo !I like it and of course are all my thoughts and prayers with the families of victims of earthquake and tsunami.
ReplyDeleteI just love this shot!
ReplyDeleteAnd your post are so important - my thoughts to all those people.
Breathtaking shot! And, yes, a very spiritual feel to it! In light of the frightful things that have been happening in the Philippines, Samoa and Indonesia, I think we should all remember to say a prayer for the people there and Sky Watch is a good way to recognize that we are all one world!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beauty and the reminder.

Beautiful photo and post...
ReplyDeleteThat picture is breathtaking. Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph and yes, we should all think of the people in the world that need help.
ReplyDeleteThat is a familiar scene, great shot.
ReplyDeleteYes, our hearts go out to all who are suffering and in need. Money to aide organizations helps with material loss but doesn't make up for the loss of loved ones.
Beautiful shot! It's been a couple of years since I was there, and it was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Nice capture here!
ReplyDeleteWell put,
ReplyDeletewonderful, dramatic photograph.
Gorgeous photo. Yosemite is an amazing place.

ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Maria. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry about the disasters in your country. Such a beautiful land should not experience such devastation. I am sorry for the losses that have resulted from this storm.
ReplyDeleteYour post is a reminder to keep the faith. Thanks.
A beautiful spiritual place to remember those who are suffering. Thank you for your posting.
ReplyDeletePeace and serenity, and a great scene for meditation. Hope we get a lot of help. My group will be meeting this Saturday to get our resources together for the victims.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot.
ReplyDeleteI've had fond memories of my two trips to the Yosemites; the walk from Glacier Point back to the village being a highlight. It's a pity that it has to come with the recent disasters,
ReplyDeleteYosemite is always beautiful, great capture!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome sight. I've never been to Yellowstone, but I'd sure like to make it there one day. Thanks for having us remember the victims in the Phillipines - they need all of our prayers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful picture and prayer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture. We've been watching the PBS show about our national parks system and just saw the one on Yosemite last night.
ReplyDeleteAmen, sister.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely and awe-inspiring mountains.
ReplyDeleteYour words are inspiring as well.

Lovely photo and the scenery is so superb. Yes so sad so many disasters in so short period. My sis felt the tremor from Indonesia but I dont feel anything. Hope the victims get all the help.
ReplyDeleteWe can use all the help we can get here in the Philippines. The situation is dramatic for a lot of people.
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful sight to reflect on while giving thanks to those who share what they have to make others feel a bit better.
ReplyDeleteYour photo is wonderful. What a beautiful place and so sad what's happening.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the prayers we needed a lot of that here.
ReplyDeleteAL
magnificent image
ReplyDeletei join you in holding good thoughts for all those suffering due to natural destruction..
Beautiful scene - and the single man included adds scale, showing the majesty of the mountain. I love your little series of Yosemite shots of the last few posts. And of course beautiful words and sentiments too - it particularly brings it home when some of the people we 'meet' through blogging are caught up in these tragedies.
ReplyDeleteJanice.

ReplyDeleteVery kind words Maria. Bless them!
