Sky Watch Friday

Previously I have presented Sandbu Mansion in my blog. I have shown photos of the fireplace in one of the cottages´ living room, and photos covering the internal environment and art with and without my Old Bunch. This Sky Watch photo is taken outside the Hall of Knights, towards west, and shows the fantastic landscape in the Vågå Valley.My next photo is of some Spanish Seagulls taking off from the beach at Estepona, SpainMoving around the world with a camera, the Botanic Garden in Singapore with the black swan, is a heavenly peaceful place. When living in Singapore mid 90s we used to exercise almost every second day around this Eco Lake before dawn. That early the heat had not yet reached above 30 deg C and humidity was still below 96.Under conditions like that, when we stay in Asia or Europe, the parasol is a must for a bold person like me. Watching the Sky through a large blue umbrella is also a photographic shot or even a scoop.Go to Tom and join the SKF. Have a nice weekend.

Hi hi hi, nei det var nok ingen kopi av et annet svar. Jeg skriver alltid fra sjela! Men kanskje jeg jeg var litt for tidlig ute og lite observant på onsdagen. Men disse herlige bildene var ikke her da jeg tittet inn. Jeg var for en gangs skyld tidligere oppe enn fuglene. Hi hi. Satt og tittet på bloggen på nattmorgenen og kom ikke på at fredagen nesten ikke hadde begynt.
Uansett så er det hærlige og vakre bilder du viser fram i dag på SWF!!

Beklager at jeg skriver på norsk, men ordforådet mitt på engelsk er ikke så stort;) Kanskje jeg skulle friske opp min gamle engelsk!
Ha en skikkelig god bedring:)

Klem fra Pernille:)

The umbrella-picture was great - advanced composition.

PS Bildet mitt var tatt 10. februar 2008, 10:05:54. Tåken var i ferd med å lette. Er egentlig en del av en hel serie med tåkebilder som jeg aldri har fått gjort ferdig.

Flotte bilete du viser fra mange forskjellige stader.
Eg lika parasoll bilete ditt, det er godt å kunne krype innunder ein skuggefull plass når sola er på det varmaste.
Eg treng heller parasoll mot regnet her vest, men i dag har sola faktisk kikka fram, herleg:)
Ha ei in helg:)
Ps. Katten min er heldigvis ikkje heilt kolsvart, han har kvitt bryst og labbar:)

Mange flotte bilete her i dag! Det første er jo favoritten min da, som du sikkert kan tenke deg. Det med parasollen er eit blinkskot i sky watch samanhang.

Eg er vel for så vidt einig i at Bokn ikkje kan slå Oslo. Oslo er ein flott by med vakre bygningar, pulserande liv og mange fritidstilbod. Likevel vil eg ikkje bytte. Me blir ofte knytte til der me har venner og heim. Må jo legge til at det er veldig kjekt med eit oslobesøk i ny og ned. Eg har ei dotter som bur i Ski så det hender me er austover.

Ha ei strålande vårhelg :)

A most amazing journey. I would dare to say it starts with a fantastic view and ends with a great idea.

Hey Arnea, this is very artistic 'sky' again, I like the "vaga val" that looks almost a paintin, the last embrelle is a great found too! so thanks for showing this wonderfull sky and please visit my blog,

Have great SKYWATCH Friday and weekend with greetings JoAnn

Misty DawnS said...

That first photo is absolutely indescribable! I'm just staring at it and in awe of the beauty. It is also obvious that your wife has a beauty all her own. Fantastic pictures.

I apologize that you do not like that I participate in Wordless Wednesday or that I post my Sky Watch Fridays on Thursday night. My purpose for that is so my Sky Watch posts are already posted when I wake up, and I can devote my day to visiting everyone else's photos. If you check, you will see that since I started participating, I have visited each and every Sky Watch post on Friday. So, that is my reason for completing my post Thursday night.

I hope you are doing well and have a wonderful weekend.

Fabulous landscape photo, the sea gulls are such neat birds to watch, wow a swan they are beautiful birds that I have not often gotten to watch. Your umbrella made me think of a flower called a petunia…Lovely all of the pictures

Anne said...

Mye flott hos deg som vanlig.... kniser litt over "Våggå valley" da :-) hørte iksom ikke helt i hop de to ordene der i mitt hode.

Hils fruen med at jammen var det mye vakkert landskap her hos deg i dag, og hun står som for mye av det!

Klem herfra fra en venn.

Sharon said...

I never heard of seagulls called SPANISH seagulls but learn something new everyday. Ü
