Skywatch Friday: From the Top of Woodbury

IMG 7848

These clouds have the shape of an airplane, I think. I enjoyed watching them float my way once I got to the top of the fire tower last week. They were very beautiful, and the blue sky around them was an unfamiliar but very welcome sight after a week of rain.

Don't you just love looking at clouds and deciding what they are? Such a childish, carefree past time.

Mimi Lenox said...

Reminds of a few flights to New England up your way. The clouds and the sky are something special in your parts.
Beautiful.

Erin said...

i am so wanting the rain again as this beastly heat for days now has taken its toll.

Dewdrop said...

Looks like some moderate instability and an impressive amount of shear. Great capture. It speaks to me... as music to my ears.

Robin said...

It looks like a soaring dragon to me :).

To me it looks like you could pluck those big clouds right from the sky.

One of my favorite type of skies...with clouds floating like this. This is just so beautiful!

Yeah, I can see an airplane in this. Pretty spectacular view from that perch. I'd love to have been there. Almost looks like the top of the world. Awesome shot.

Sylvia K said...

Fabulous shot, Sandy! I love watching the clouds here and trying to decide what they look like to me and we do get some wild and strange ones! This one is incredible! It would have been fantastic to see it from your viewpoint! It does indeed look like the top of the world!

Wonderful cloud photos, it can be a simple summer time joy to sit and watch them float by.

Really enjoying Sky Watch and the process of always keeping an eye out for pretty skies, they have a habit of sneaking up on you.

Beautiful, I see the airplane. I could take photos and look at photos of clouds all day.

Clouds comes in many shapes. "Your" airplane is beautiful.

Reader Wil said...

The reason why sky watch is so popular, is because the skies are always interesting. This is again a beautiful piece of heaven. Sandy, I wish you a great SWF.

Your EG Tour Guide said...

Amazingly the cloud DOES look like an airplane. I'm glad it was YOU that went up the fire tower and not me. I'm feeling dizzy just thinking about it. LOL

barb said...

I love cloud-watching! Unfortunately, we have so many trees here, there's not often a wide-open area for proper cloud-watching. And yes, I DO see the plane!

Anne-Berit said...

I like your airplane of beautiful fluffy clouds.

MsRay said...

Your cloud shot is so beautiful.

Pam said...

Nice shot, Sandy. That's what I would call having your head in the clouds.

Yes, I see that fluffy cloud airplane very clearly - neat shot!!

It took some time before I could recognize the airplane, but it's truly there. I love it! Thanks for sharing this lovely sight.

I really love this bank of clouds, and the colors behind it.

Reader Wil said...

Hi Sandy! I don't know if these people can be gotten to, but Dina knows more and the other url is of the Iranian blogger, who reads Dina's blog too. I went to this blog and read the message.

Quiet Paths said...

It appears you are nearly abreast of the clouds. Very refreshing.

TSannie said...

That's something I haven't seen lately - it's as beautiful as i remember! Thanks for the reminder!

Yolanda said...

Such a beautiful photo.

Luiz Ramos said...

Great shot. Beautiful texture.

Wren said...

I can see the plane shape, but mostly I marvel at the suspended animation that holds clouds between earth and sky.

Mike said...

Nice calming shot :)
