Blue Ridge Mountains, Friday, November 28th

Only another human being who loves to look at the sky would understand why I would take a salvo of shots of clouds. In one day, I took over three hundred photographs of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains skies. The above photograph was taken at 11:00 o'clock in the morning with the blinding sun. I saw another skywatcher standing in the middle of a bridge taking a photograph of the same sun and clouds. I wondered whether he was a Friday Skywatcher. I used center-weight metering and a UV filter. All the photographs were taken in a moving vehicle. I had a more important mission that Friday - shopping in Asheville, North Carolina.

Great sky serials - simple things are often gorgeous and we run too fast to be able to notice them! Thank you for your visit and greetings from Croatia!

You're not the only one who gets shutter happy at the sight of some phnomenon or particular light or clouds. With a reasonable digital camera you can hage the time of your life.
Nice warm, white, wooly blanket in your sky.
