Cloudbusting 393, Sea Sky Watch Friday


Skywatching at sea should be so much fun. From a sundeck of a large boat there is unlimited views to all directions. Only problem is that the skies are usually quite boring at sea. I have sailed on very small and very large boats and everything in between. I have been out on the sea at winter and summer and the skies are never that good above the sea.


This time around it was different and the morning at 7 am provided some good views like this UFO searching for intelligent life from the sea.


There is nothing like coming home though! The end of the journey. Happy Skywatch Friday to everybody!

Unbelievable beauty! These pictures make it hard to believe these skies are ever boring.
I always get a little envious of your beautiful surroundings Chrome! These skies are truly magnificent!

I love the shots! Not boring at all. Sometimes we need to use a little imagination to interpret them...like the UFO..:)

Looks like a fun cruise!

Sylvia K said...

Incredible shots! The second one took my breath away, Chrome! Do wonder what that UFO found??? Hope he/she/it found more intelligence than I've run into lately -- that's a joke, well kind of a joke! Have a great weekend!

Svenssonit ovat pyytäneet juuefoujumalan avux sukellusvenejahtiin. Etteivät tulisi pommittaneeksi hylkeitä, Greenpeace on niin pahana niistä. Ja onhan se noloa muutenkin.

Aika pirun siisti kuva sarjassaan. Noi säteet ja toi reikä meressä toimii ku junanvessa. Ne tekee tän kuvan. Ainakin mulle.

Fantastic shots. The second is my fave. Or maybe the first one - love the angle.

GreensboroDailyPhoto said...

You've outdone yourself this week. So much visual interest and so typical of what one sees in Scandanavia, on a sunny day. Bet you are enjoying the L O N G days and short nights-- photographer's dream!

James said...

These are my kind of pictures. I really like your style.

Pacey said...

Fun pictures! Looks like you enjoyed yourself.

Hildegarde said...

I've never thought about skies above the sea, so it's new to me that you tell they are usually boring, unless of course you see a ufo, haha. The last one with the fading clouds is great too.

Thank goodness you hadn't given up on the sea skies! The light in the second one, especially, is spectacular.

Louise said...

I haven't been at sea a LOT, but mostly the sky was not as impressive as I'd hoped. But these shots are. I love your UFO comment. I wouldn't have thought of that, but that's exactly what it looks like.
