It's Skywatch Friday. This was a few days back. A balloon came sailing by. Whimsical it was. Must be an omen of a smiley, happy day.Check the Skywatch Friday site for a host of other photos that examine the theme "sky."

It's Skywatch Friday. This was a few days back. A balloon came sailing by. Whimsical it was. Must be an omen of a smiley, happy day.
It looks like it is really moving along.
ReplyDeleteNo arguements from me. Classic deep blue sky and the the red blue a beautifully composed contrast.
ReplyDeleteLove the peacefulness in this photo!
ReplyDeleteYears ago there was a movie called The Red Balloon. It was a foreign film (no dialogue) about a little boy and the red balloon that followed him everywhere. They used to show it to us in school and I always loved it.
Thanks for a photo that brought back a long forgotten memory.
i like the way you described this and it's probable outcome. seems to fit perfectly.

Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteLove this pic! As someone else has already said - the contrast is super!
I also enjoyed some of your window shopping posts while I was here - nice blog.
Let me try the math again, I left out a number:
ReplyDelete440 million light years x 6 trillion miles (rounded up) per light year = 2,640,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles aways.... shesh.
I love the whimsy of this photo. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun capture! You were in the right place, at the right time. :-)
