Some Australian skies I happened upon one day this week. I am pretty sure they are all from the same day. I quite liked the view of the sky through the gum trees. Actually I tell a lie, I actually took this photo because I thought it was a nice one of the gums...but it turns out it is OK for skywatch...there is a little sky through there! above, sunset on my evening walk.... above, from a morning walk.... I happened to be chopping down some branches in the yard, when I looked up...and this is what I saw! and another pretty cream poinsettia framed against the morning sky. Please click on the Skywatch icon over in the sidebar to visit more skies from around the world this week. The skywatch week starts at 7.30pm GMT on Thursday nights.
