Stopping for skies

Last summer in England was a good one for skies.

I made my sister drive me up to the Downs

Where I got a gorgeous view of Lancing College —

And the sea melting into the horizon and becoming sky.

Sea-horizon

I also made her stop in a lay-by as I was fascinated

By the bright blue of the rain-washed sky

In contrast to the soft gold of the sheep-dotted hills.

Blue sky

And finally, this sky stopped me —

Dramatic, moody and beautiful

(Not unlike a lot of us)!

I’m away in England and might not get round to visiting you all.

  1. All the emotions, the words, feelings are out there in nature if one looks. You look. That’s simply a good thing.

    I identify with the last image, though not the words -okay I lied, the words as well -busted and guilty as charged.

  4. You have an “eye” for photography. I liked the last image the best but the other two were photos to make the mind think and kept on looking at them again and again until finally I could think of something to say. Nice work!
