Who doesn't like beautiful skies. They come in so much variety, not one is like another. Clear blue skies, blue skies with white clouds, a gazillion shapes thereof, pink clouds, red clouds, and shades too numerous to count.
Archana thinks I am crazy because I shoot skies every single chance I get. They have this remarkable ability to take me to a different world. It's like a fantasy every time the sun sets and rises over the horizon. Some of you may have seen photos of early morning Tennessee skies in one of my orkut.com albums. With airplane smoke lines filling entire skylines, the view was almost like from another planet, something you'd see in an artist's rendition of celestial scenes.
Recently, on a trip to India, I happened to witness some of the most beautiful skies I had ever seen. At 35,000 ft., the perspective is totally different. You're used to seeing clouds against the backdrop of blue sky. And now suddenly you're seeing them against the backdrop of the earth.
It is marvellous to say the least! Tiny clumps of white clouds, with a backdrop divided almost halfway between a landscape full of farms, rivers, interstate highways, scattered houses and bright blue sky. Take a sip of coffee, relax and enjoy the scene.
Ever since we moved to Texas, I have been noticing how much different Texas sky is from anywhere else I have been to. The numerous patterns of clouds you see here are just breathtaking. Every single day (unless it's raining of course), I wish I had my Rebel with me. This evening I got the perfect opportunity. I was just getting ready to pour the sparking Lambrusco in two glasses, when I peeked outside the study window and immediately noticed the festival of colors that was happening that very moment across the sky. You know what they say. A picture is worth a thousand words. So without getting into a detailed description, I will let you all devour the beautiful Texas sky. Enjoy!!!
