Sky Watch - & Some Waves

For this weeks Sky Watch I had intended to capture the wonderful coastal resort of Redcar on the North East coast of England (I work there) and perhaps some wonderful waves crashing on the golden sands with the sky as a backdrop, it was going to be a stunner!!

Sadly, I forgot my camera so you'll have to make do with these waves instead - at least the sky is real!

For more sky watchers visit Tom at Wiggers World.

I am one of those proud sky watchers and I really enjoy each and every one of the photos you show us. I really think you are a first class sky watcher!; 10 July 2008 at 20:01

I'm on the road and in the field doing another photo trip chasing the bloom of our Rosebay Rhododendron (white blossoms) in the northern area of the Southern Appalachian mountains, and with lodging that does not have the most reliable internet service. I won't be home again for a few more days yet, but I did finally develop and upload a few images to update my July 7 Rhododendron post.

Sunrise this morning was a washout, literally, with locally heavy thunderstorms--looks like the rain won't ease up until later morning so I'm going to breakfast soon. But I wanted to try and get around to all who visited my SWF, and others too while I still have good internet access. So, please forgive this cut & paste with a small bit of personalization added--I do appreciate your visit and your comments.

I do hope your feeling better today. Yeah, it really is pretty tough keeping a good mental attitude when you're feeling so miserable--it's a challenge!

I don't mind the waves and the sky is pretty. I know how you feel about not having your camera with you: I did a 2 week trip a couple of years ago and left my four 2GB memory cards at home! Luckily I was able to get online, buy some more and get them shipped overnight to my motel.
