Post a Picture of the Sky!

The tallest mountains I've ever seen. Camera was at 7000 feet.



I'm always amazed at how fast clouds move in the the mountains.

 

WI sunset.

 

mixedmedia ^^^ ! I'd have needed four 'like' buttons for this one. I like each element, how it reflects the other, in a frame which unifies them.

 

thank you, very much

 

My last time on the beach in Galveston, right after I bought my first DSLR.

i think ive posted this one in TFP4.0, but its one of my favourites...

Tripoli, Lebanon. 2009

 

Astounding pics, everyone. (I feel I must abusing that "like" button, but what the hell...)

I'm digging into the vaults for this one- it was taken in 1987 on the beaches of Indiana, and if you look closely past the marker buoy, that's the Chicago skyline!

 

......an old one but,pretty happy with it

 

I took this yesterday in Rose Bay, Sydney. The weather couldnt make up its mind. It was cloudy and rainy, then the skies cleared for a brief period, and i managed to get a few snaps, and then it returned again to the dreary cloud and drizzle.

 

I'll dig through my archives to see what I might have of my own, but these two I found on an Antarctica scientific site and I love them! http://www.gdargaud.net/Antarctica/SunRun.html

This makes the point about the sun never setting below the horizon at certain times in Antarctica


The trajectory of the sun above Concordia Station over a 24 hour period.


The same image, seen as a full fisheye projection pointing vertically down (also aptly named 'polar panorama'), showing nicely that the sun rotates following a circle around the earth, and not some kind of weird sine curve as could be imagined from the above image.

Today's sunrise tinge:

 

Isn't it beautiful when the sun is so orange you can taste it?
