Week 21: Sky

In 1985 when I was on work experience in California people frequently asked me what we did in leisure time in Scotland. Did we go to the beach?  If it's not raining, I would say.  Did we have BBQs?  Depends on the weather, I would say.  Basically if you don't like the weather in Scotland then just wait 5 minutes!!


When someone says Sky is the theme for a photo most people's immediate thought is to get a beautiful sunrise, sunset or cloud-filled or moon-filled image that has the "Wow" factor.  But. . . this is Scotland . . . and with the forecast this week you could wait a long time for such a spectacular representation.  So since this is Scotland, I will continue with Project 52 no matter what the weather and here is my photo of the Sky today. 

In Scotland we would describe this as 'dreich' which basically means damp and YUCKY!

Here hoping for some better weather next week.

Week 4: Sun

The end of Week 4 of 2012 already . . . it'll soon be Christmas!!

I often complain about the weather in Scotland.  Not necessarily about the cold, dreich days we can have but about the unpredictability of it.  One day can be damp and lifeless and the next can be cold, crisp and sunny.  I love those sunny days - even on bitter winter days - because they produce the most beautiful skies with such a variety of colours.  I wasn't fortunate enough to see the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, which were visible in the sky near Edinburgh this week but I caught this fantastic sunrise on my way to work.  It was mesmerising.  Love it!  Enjoy.


'Til next week, Cheers,
Dot

Hello All,


   I had a crazy week and was under the weather (again) so I procrastinated with my picture. However, tonight I caught the sun as it was going down behind the mountains. I ran in the house and grabbed my camera. By time I got back outside I had missed the beautiful last rays of the sun going down and instead captured this beautiful sunset. I owe you one, I will get my sun picture this week but still wanted to share this gorgeous sky with you. I love only having to sharpen the image up and not having to do more then that. There are times when I get irritated with the power lines and telephone lines that run through my neighborhood, I keep picturing how much more beautiful this would be without them in the shot also.


UNNT,
Sammee
