Skywatch: You Don't See That Every Day

You never know what you'll see along I-40 between Arizona and Oklahoma. This blimp caught me by surprise as it was out in the middle of nowhere - but it must have been on its way somewhere, right? The other-worldly (unedited) color is courtesy of my tinted windshield. (My son was driving.)

I'm linking to Skywatch Friday, where you'll find beautiful photos from around the world. Check it out!

Skywatch: Texture on Texture

Desert foliage stands in stark contrast to a cloud-obscuring buttermilk sky. This photo was taken along Cave Creek Road north of Phoenix.

Skywatch: A New Day Dawns in Detroit

The unmistakable skyline of Detroit, aka Motor City, aka Motown, is silhouetted by the rising sun. I captured this view of the GM Renaissance Center from my hotel room during a business trip.Detroit is a wonderful city and I hope to visit it again as a tourist.

Skywatch: Sunset on the Nile

Minarets stand out against the background of the setting sun. This photo was taken from the deck of a river cruiser somewhere between Luxor and Aswan.

A few years ago I had the great good fortune to join a tour of Egypt and Jordan. One of the many highlights of the trip was sailing the Nile River from Luxor to the great dam at Aswan. It was an experience I'll never forget and this photo is one of my favorite reminders. It could have been taken anywhere, except for the unique silhouettes of the minarets, from which the beautiful Muslim call to prayer is sounded five times each day. I'll share more of my adventure in future posts.

Skywatch: On the Upside, Looking Down

In my former life as an employed person, I flew to Toronto and back several times. I took this picture somewhere over the northeastern U.S., but I don't recall exactly where. Seeing the world from this perspective is always inspiring.

The next shot was also taken during a trip to Canada but on a different flight, as you can see by the hint of sunset on the horizon.
