Sunlight slipped away as we waited for the Yankees and Orioles to start playing on July 20. With Andy Pettitte on the hill and my three favorite people beside me, I couldn' ask for anything more--except that maybe the rest of the Yankees actually played ball, too, those first eight innings. Anyway, the view was good and Matsui saved the day. (Here are some more views of the stadium.)

Beautiful capture of the lights (sky and stadium!) It really draws me in and I found myself rooting for the Yankees, too (if only for a moment, then I went back to the Tigers...)
ReplyDeleteThat does look dramatic!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo Sandy and your slide show of both the stadiums and your evening at the ball game is most enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and smiles
Hi Sandy and what a great capture. Going from the shadows to the bright skies.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
Have a great weekend.
Gorgeous perspective and angle in this shot!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
This shot is a keeper! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really incredible image. Fabulous composition, superb light and the silhouetted part just the finishing touch. Bowled over by this shot.
ReplyDeleteSandy, this is an impressive photo. Really terrific!
ReplyDeleteYou captured a really nice shot of the stadium and the sky beyond. A very good sky watch day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning backdrop! Wow-
ReplyDeleteGreat composition, Sandy. It's a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really powerful shot.
ReplyDeleteNeat perspective! Without digital cameras, we would not be taking photos looking up, just into the stadium.
ReplyDeleteFabulous image! Also enjoyed the slideshow with more views of the stadium.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative shot
ReplyDeleteWOW! Beautiful setting!
ReplyDeletegreat photo, I like the flags all around the stadium up in the clouds.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and report.

PS. Praia Vermelha beach is a magic place: beach, hills and a lot of green forests.
Great photo...I like the composition...and its a beautiful sky also!
ReplyDeleteNow that is one really cool shot. Hope you enjoyed the game. =)
ReplyDeleteThe little flags look interesting sticking up there into the skyline. There appears to be one cloud now wanting to clump up with the others. It is whisping through the sky on its own path.
ReplyDeleteMy what an awesome view you had of that lovely sky. Nice slide show, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I would have to have cheered for the Orioles (or anyone below the Mason-Dixon line!) having once lived in Baltimore... but NOTHING would beat that photograph! It's a lovely shot and brings back many happy twilights in the bleachers, and sharing real American hot dogs with good friends... even if I did forget to ask who on earth won the game until the ride home! LOL Happy memories, Sandy, thanks for this one!
ReplyDeletewhat a dramatic composition My Dear Friend! The whole slide show is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture!! But having grown up around Baltimore, I'd would have had to root for my O's.
ReplyDeleteFabulous view of the sky and a landmark. Sky Watch Friday is the best fun because of all the bloggers who find something to share with us.
ReplyDeleteVery nice picture, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
Love that lambs wool cloud;
ReplyDeleteGolden Fleece!

Sandy, what an amazing effect that bright white clouds with the stadiun silhouette! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watch!
excellent shot sandy!
ReplyDeleteGrand sky! So blue while the stadium is dark! I'm smiling because you're at the game w/your camera!
ReplyDeleteThat is a striking image off the sky above the stadium. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the sun gleams through the clouds. Beautiful sky.
ReplyDeleteAnd here I thought it was banners on the ramparts of some exotic castle! LOL! Love those clouds!
ReplyDeleteThe sky looks awesome there.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant capture of the sky above the stadium, outstanding.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

That silver light and the particular shade of blue are wonderful! Happy SWF!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing quite like a baseball game and a stadium full of fans, is there? Incredible perspective and light in this shot, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteMysterious view drowning out all the hoopla from the stadium. Are you sure people don´t think you are odd for pointing the camera in to the wrong direction? :-)
ReplyDeleteA superb capture. Full of WOW factor.
ReplyDeleteThat is a dramatic shot :)
ReplyDeleteLove the drama of the arced stadium in contrast with the stunning sky! And the touch of flags waving in the breeze almost seems to echo standards from castles!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sky shot! And having your team win just makes it sweeter :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like God's light!
ReplyDeleteDid the sun's team score a home run?
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. Looks like an ancient castle walls - the stadium is so beautiful - you captured a great moment!
ReplyDeleteMagnificent, the flags add a dramatic effect. Beautiful photo.

What a great skywatch. There's nothing like a summer day at a baseball park! I enjoyed the slide show, too. It's great to see a personal perspective of the new stadium. Lots more potential skywatch in there, too.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent shot - The sky framing the ball park.
ReplyDeleteI love the lighting and contrast!
Great capture!
yes what a wonderful image. Thanks for stopping by on my first visit. What a great carnival!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful shot. Thanks for visiting My Muskoka. I am so behind, what with all that is going on! It is a good thing I am retired!
ReplyDeleteAs a Red Sox fan, this isn't the time for me to be cheeky ;)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot!!
Sandy: That was a neat look at the skies of NYC over the stadium.
ReplyDeleteFantastic captured, I really enjoyed looking at this image!
ReplyDeleteWow ... wonderful view! Guess it pays to take a camera everywhere ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Thanks for being here.
