Some pictures must be taken, some things must be blogged. Photography and pop culture.
So, what’s so special about a cloud, you’ve seen thousands of them. Hundreds of thousands of them.
Well, check it out:
It looks like a different world, a magical realm that exists in another dimension. Thanks to an incredible combination of factors and a good dose of luck, we got a glimpse of it on this Tuesday afternoon. And fortunately it happened in the time of camera phones.
But don’t attempt to look for this realm under any circumstances–you will be sucked into a void!
I was looking out of the window one day–as I do on most days–and I noticed that when a cloud covered the sun, it made it look like a white disc. I quickly grabbed my camera.
I felt so lucky I got to capture it. The clouds were moving fast.
I saw this weekend’s Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge was Flight–and I knew I had the right content for it!
Taken on my recent flight from Bratislava back to Manchester. The geolocation shows as Karlovy Vary (also known as Carlsbad) in Czech Republic, a popular spa resort not far from the German border.
The fluffy white clouds would almost make you believe you were in a fantasy castle in the skies–but only almost. It’s a Ryanair flight after all!
(For readers outside Europe: Ryanair is a budget airline that operates to and from most of the major cities here, so not very romantic, but honestly, they do exactly what you need them to do, i.e. fly you from A to B, and what more do you need?)
Photographed, as always, from my living room window, back in August.
Rain and sunshine equals rainbow and there was one the other day. It was quite faint, or maybe I noticed it too late when it was already fainting.
Here’s the pics.
Mostly because I couldn’t think of any.
One of my better sunsets.
The reason why I take so many pictures from my window is that I’m lucky to have such a good view. No buildings in the way and when the weather’s clear, I can even see the Yorkshire hills in the distance.
I snapped this on the way back from Tesco yesterday evening. It looks like a shot from a different planet–maybe something the Curiosity rover took on Mars–but trust me, it’s just a Wednesday in Manchester.
I don’t often photograph sky with my phone, but when I do, it’s out of this world.
I have not posted for a while. I haven’t been using my camera much lately either. I have not taken a single photo with my camera in June and only a couple in July (and that was because I made myself do two pics from my window). I don’t want to get into the reasons why here, what I want to say is that it’s August now and I do have an August photo. As it happens, also taken from my window.
I was treated to this view while watching the Athletics in London. I remember it was just minutes before Usain Bolt’s last individual race. 100m is just so thrilling–only ten seconds and you have a winner. But I digress.
I’m never quite satisfied with any of my sky pictures. Looks like I still have a lot to improve.
This is one of the July ones:
Half-white and half-grey sums up the crazy weather we’ve been having this summer. Showers followed by sunshine followed by more rain.
Reflection of clouds on the glass building.
Edited: The photographed building is the National Football Museum in Manchester.
Sometimes, there is no need to leave the house to see something beautiful.
Very convenient for a lazy person like me.
