We've had a lot of grey and rainy skies but Sunday was a perfect day for sky watching.
I might have missed the shot below if Bill hadn't said: look at that mackerel sky. Of course I looked up and caught the shot.
I like photographing the sky through and above buildings for a change.
I used to go downtown (Raleigh, NC) more, but of late I don't seem to even though it's only a 10 to 15 minute drive from my house.
I guess since I don't work there anymore and I'm not carpooling my daughter there like I used to, or going to Church downtown as I once did, I have less reasons to than I did in the past.
At this point whenever I go downtown there is something new building wise to photograph.
I like the way there is a mix of old and new together.
Variety is something I tend to enjoy.
There was certainly a lot of variety in the sky as well as built up from the ground.
I had trouble deciding which shots to post so, as I sometimes do, I'm letting this turn into a very long post.
I can't think of when I have had a better sky to shoot.
I always like the cotton ball effect when it shows up in the sky.
I've posted a number of shots of the new "Daily Planet" already but the shot below seemed like a good SkyWatch one.
Your gorgeous, happy, blue skies make such a terrific background for the wonderful old buildings! Terrific captures for the day, Carver, as always! Enjoy your weekend!
My favourite shot is the church trying to hide behind the tree. Can't decide if it is a lady flirting with her fan, or an adult playing hide and seek with a really young child...
So nice mix of modern huge buildings and gorgeous houses.I also love the different sculptures! Wonderful set of images, very well done! hugs and a nice Friday Léia
thanks for showing us around. i love this kind of cloud pattern...my grandmother said it's the best time to plant sweet potatoes when the clouds look like this.:p

A mackerel sky sure adds lots of texture to the horizon, thanks for sharing
Wonderful views of the sky. Very nice variety.
Great skies but you have some fine old buildings there. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Beautiful skies - I also love skywatching through buildings like this.
That is a change. Fantastic how you used the angle. Great looking up between the buildings. The second and the 11th are my favorites.
Very nice shots. It looks like a perfect summer day.
How wonderful an environment you live in. Please have a good Friday.

Your post shows that the the city has beautiful skies too! (Happened to focus on the city to for my SWF post) Your second pic is my favorite!
Thank you for this long post! The photos are stunning. I love your skies.
I like the cotton like clouds with the blue sky..
Absolutely love your mackerel and cotton ball skies!
Terrific captures. The pieces of sky between the buildings look good.
What a great series of blue blue skies! I do love the mix of old and new.

Hi there - that shot looking up at the sky through the buildings is great – it’s a really good angle.
