Mama Clouds

As an avid skywatcher, I found this setting unusual in that there was a setting sun behind me, ominous looking clouds in front, but no wind, rain, lightning, or thunder. In fact it was quite serene, almost a bit eerie.

Smiley Wing

Somewhere over Italy. I was really looking forward to getting some shots flying across the Alps into Germany, but the clouds were solid. With several peaks around 15,000 ft, would have made some interesting shots. Maybe next time.

Morning Takeoff

Another drive by photo, taken on the way to work. This time it really is birds :)

Sunset Over Minneapolis

On the way home from work I decided to take a little different route from my usual, taking me past a high point in St. Anthony from which you have a nice view of the western sky. Sun setting I pulled off into a small parking area with only minutes to spare before the sun would disappear. Another photog apparently had the same idea, except he was shooting a promotional video of the sunset for a travel agency.

Skywatch Friday

Another angry sky.
