It is well known that we Portuguese once sailed the seven seas searching for new lands, wealth and adventures.
We were brave in those days and gave the world new worlds!

Luckily I don’t have to sail the big oceans on a small ship to sea the wonders of our world …
No Sir, I just need to check with Mr. Tom, the finest host there is, for a trip around the world with SKY WATCH TOURS and with a click here, a click there I am quickly in the USA, England, Brazil, Italy, China, Australia, Finland … well, everywhere.

And on each stop I come to see a little marvel of our world under a great sky!
Hope you can come and see my piece of the sky at lenses & visions

Det må jeg si! Tusen takk for award (det må jeg gjøre noe med, men det kan ta noen dager...) og for hyggelig kommentar!

Nydelige bilder fra Drammen igjen. Du gjør virkelig fin PR for byen. Du fikk frem stemningen på en fin måte.

Beautiful photography. I am impressed with what you do with your camera. Nice work.

Anne said...

Gratulerer med utmerkelsen først og fremst, deg virkelig vel fortjent. Så te dag nå som en grave på din nylagde veranda, og forlang å bli oppvartet som en
:-)))

Vakre bilder som vanlig John, og det er ikke vanskelig å se at du har et blikk for fotografering.

God helg til deg, og hils blondinen herfra.

(Nei, nå må jeg bare komme med en blonddinevits også..., sånn på tampen... for du vet likheten mellom en blondine og et IKEA møbel ???


... jo.... når du har fått med deg skrabberakelet hjem, og føttene begynner å skli fra hverandre..., det er da du skjønner at det mangler en skrue eller to...)

Ja ja... ikke "sladder" som vi si her i trøndelag :-) Bare litt gøy sånn på kvelden.

Klem herfra til dere begge.

Cath said...

John these images are yet again, brilliant. I had to show my husband. I said to him, "Ordinary skies, but the perspective this guy uses..." and then I realised that is what it is about your photography that I love. Your perspective. The depth. It is just so clever and so good.

I've joined Sky Watch today - I'd love it if you came over to see.

beautiful photos, that bridge looks very weird in one spot. Almost like it's got a bump in it. Your skies are amazing as usual!

John, I LOVE the intense colors in the 1st one! Then I love the swirling clouds. They appear to be moving. Great job as always. Congrats on the award. You deserve it.

The pictures are wonderful. You have an adept eye for composition.

Lori said...

WOW! These are amazing. I loved the first, then started looking at them all, thinking, "Fantastic!" Hard to pick a favorite. It looks like there is wind whipping inside many of those clouds. I especially like the one of the building with the reflection.

Kostas said...

Splendid the subjects with marvellous colours.
Most excellent the material that you use as well as your lenses.

Thank you very much for award that you give me!

Country Girl said...

John, your blog is beautiful. How do you get the photographs to appear so large? I would love to be able to do this. Are you using the minima template?

Your skywatch pictures were a pleasure to see. So glad I stopped by!

raf said...

Incredible sky shots, John! That bridge is a something special too!

Ann said...

I love the colours in the first one - I never get tired of sunsets/sunrises. They are all beautiful.

These are amazing pictures yet again. I think you've done a great job with those angles in the photos with the pole.

Thanks so much for the award. I will try to post about it soon, but I don't have a very good track record with awards, so I can't promise anything! :)

Cheers,

David

Pappy said...

Very artistic sky shots. Thanks.

Raven said...

These are beautiful skies. Something about the color/texture reminds me of antique post cards... they have a unique quality to them that I can't quite explain.. They are lovely.

Lilli & Nevada said...
