SKY WATCH FRIDAY

"No matter how you feel, when you are on a boat or close to the water, nothing seems to matter. All the stresses and tension just melts away."
That is what Lisa told us in her last SWF, and I promised to publish WATER/SAILBOAT/SKY next time.
This sky watch is for Lisa and all the people feeling in the same way.
I got through some older photos from California/Santa Barbara County/ Channel Islands

I hope You feel like Lisa told us, have a nice SWF !!!!


The Anacapa group, part of the Channal Islands at the California coast.

Azurblaue Urlaubsstimmung überkommt mich da - wunderschön.

Danke für Deinen Kommentar. Ich habe mir die SWF-HP angeschaut, aber den richtigen Durchblick habe ich noch nicht. Wo ist denn da z. B. die Teilnehmerliste?

Oh, I absolutely love the arch with the sailboat perfectly behind it. You're right, the water does seem to absorb great amounts of distress.

The sailing boat through the archway is a terrific image. It must have required great patience to wait for the exact right time.

Beautiful scenes. Calm water is very calming, on or off it. Rough water - well it depends where your are on it or observing.

Thank you for the visit and comment.

Lisa is right. I grew up near a harbour and water always draws me like Nature's magnet.

Your second picture is awesome!

Ramosforest.Environment hat gesagt…

Great shots. Beautiful Nature.
Congratulations.

Jim hat gesagt…

I like the bottom picture the better, each is great! We found a rock like that at Capri, Italy.
Happy Skywatching, thank you for peeking in on my Texas clouds as seen from above.

BTW, my greatgrandfather's family lived in Westfalia, De, he came with them as a child. :-)

Max-e hat gesagt…

These are really great shots. I like the way you captured the yacht through the hole in the island.
My wife and I are going out to sea this morning, to do some whale watching. That could well be the subject of next weeks sky watch

Anonym hat gesagt…

Nice - framing the sailboat in the arch of the rock makes an incredible photo.

Thanks for visiting Wrenaissance.

A very great post!

Berit T hat gesagt…

WOW!!! This was beautiful!!

Og det bildet på toppen, med baugen på båten, fantastisk!!!

Anonym hat gesagt…

I agree about the healing powers of being close to water, and I'd say the same for the mountains. Great SWF shots - and I love the big one at the top that's your banner or header photo, or whatever it's called!

Markus Latva-aho hat gesagt…

The last picture frames very beatifully the sailship! I liked your photos.

Maria hat gesagt…

Ganz wunderbare Bilder, sie laden zum Träumen ein!
Danke für deinen netten Kommentar auf meinem Blog. Ich fotografiere mich hauptsächlich durch Wien und einige Wanderungen in den Voralpen hier und da. Aber ich finde Bloggen einfach ungeheuer spannend, aufregend und kreativ, und man lernt außerdem viele nette Leute kennen, rund um den Erdball.
Und Englisch kann man auch ein wenig üben!
Komme gerne wieder auf deine Seiten!
Alles Liebe Maria

Anonym hat gesagt…

Oh that's a fabulous shot of the sail boat through that opening in the rock! Very cool...

You already noticed it : it works :-))

Kim hat gesagt…

Awesome shots!! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog..Have a good week!

Becky hat gesagt…

Absolutely spectacular pictures! You must have waited a long time for that sail boat to get in just the right spot.

Jeanne hat gesagt…

Both beautiful but that second shot is amazing. Love the water too. Thanks for visiting my site and surprisingly those were sunrise pictures. Don't usually get that color that time of day.

SandyCarlson hat gesagt…

Your images ring as true as Lisa's words. What a beautiful set of images. And what a very blue sky.

Louis la Vache hat gesagt…

"Louis" likes your masthead photo as well as your Sky Watch images. "Louis" thanks you for visiting San Francisco Bay Daily Photo.

M'man hat gesagt…

I just found my way to your blog - great photos!

♥ Stines hverdag hat gesagt…

Kjempe flotte bilder! Spesielt det med seilbåten. Og veldig enig med Lisa, å være nær vann gir en god følelse.

duopastorale hat gesagt…

Very calming.

Christy hat gesagt…

Very nice photos. I am just now getting around. For some reason my computer would not let me open up the links from the skywatch page on Friday.

Beautiful how the sailboat is in the opening of the rock.

Pappy hat gesagt…

Thanks for coming by Pappy's Balderdash and leaving a comment. Beautiful photos. I love the sea, and the Mainsail visible through the hole in the rock is an outstanding photo. Pappy
