SkyWatch Friday

While staying in the Belgian Ardennes a few weeks ago we had days and days of rain with a dark and gloomy sky. After three days the sky opened for a few seconds and surprised us with a beautiful rainbow very close to the house we stayed. It was gone before we got to the pot of gold. So close to it and no luck!

More wonderful sky photos are just a click away.

It has been very long since I posted here. It was an eventful time with my husband having an accident and being hospitalised, his recovery and therapy and hence our moving house. It left no time for photography. Things are easing down now and I hope to get time to go out again and take some pictures now and then.
This week we spent in the western part of the Netherlands  in the province of Zeeland.  I always am amazed by the flatness of the land. It is all beneath sea level and so different from the part where we live.

Not the sky

No picture of the sky but a picture of what the sky gave us. It is 4 weeks nog since we saw the first snowflakes. It would be a great opportunity to take marvellous winter pictures but it is too slippery to go out.

Wish everyone of you whereever you are in the world a peaceful and wonderful Christmas!

Winter is definately here, This morning everything looked like being touched by a little baby powder.
  

 

Now it looks like this. A little early this year.

I spent a week in Houston, Texas, lately. After two hot and rainy days the sun came out and we saw a bright blue sky. I was impressed by this building which really tried to reach the sky. I took the photo from the 22d floor of our hotel. No idea what the exact height is and how many floors there are in it.

This picture was also taken from the same floor in the opposite direction. It clearly shows the pollution at the horizon. Funny you can't see the smog right above you.

Where could you have a better view on the sky than being in the sky? Last week I went to Houston, Texas, and spent to and fro about 24 hours in planes. Feels good to see the clouds from above. There you see the variety of clouds like endless white landscapes with mountains and valleys, without crowds, traffic and noise.
So peaceful.

Approaching  Heathrow (London) meant disappearing into the mist.
