I’ve always been a fan of low horizons … especially when the sky is interesting enough to deserve the extra attention. If you follow this blog it’s likely you’ve seen some, mixed in among my landscape posts. Here are a few recent images with skies that attracted my eye. I see them as giant canvases that Mother Nature has painted for us to enjoy. Like abstract paintings I find the shapes, patterns and colors very appealing. Standing before them and soaking in the panorama is always rewarding. The views feed my mind, body and soul! And, I’m grateful for the opportunity to experience these beautiful moments with my camera!

Mother Nature may have created it but you captured them forever. The mountain ranges are beautiful but I would just love to be lying in that green pasture looking up at that incredible cloud display
Thanks Buck! Hope you are having fun on your trip! That pasture is a place to go back to for sure.
Beautiful shots and interesting subject matter.
Thanks Ken … we are getting snow now and there is no view at all … just white sky obscuring the mountains.
These are lovely shots, Denise, and your words about Nature mirror my thoughts exactly. “I see them as giant canvases that Mother Nature has painted for us to enjoy.”
I hope you’ll come Out West sometime so we can meet. I feel like I know you in some ways … kindred spirits perhaps! XO
How kind of you to say so, Denise! I’d love to see that lovely countryside some day.
Beautiful Denise. I Love big skies and the amazing cloud formations
Thank you Joe … always nice to hear from you!
Yes, skies are amazing. Great shots thanks!
Thanks for visiting, my blogging friend!
I’m with you when it comes to low horizons with interesting skies. Your four photos show how well you use that approach.
Thanks Steve! Success here is all up to the cloud interest and balance.
Lovely work! I particularly like ‘The Big Sky Over Pasture’ photo.
Thanks for stopping in Belinda. The sky was solemn but beautiful that day.
These are such beautiful big skies Denise. I’ve always enjoyed cloud watching on very windy days – it’s bliss to watch them race by.
Thanks for the visit and comment Simon! If I could find a way to get paid for watching clouds I’d be all set!
Like you, I have always enjoyed a low horizon—when, as you say, the sky is full of beautiful clouds or colours. As you show in these lovely images.
Thank you Otto. I’m glad you appreciate these kind of skies too!
Beautiful skies and images. There is nothing like showing how small we are within the grand landscape!
Thanks Angie. I agree … grand landscapes can make us feel small.
Really nice! And thanks for visiting my site.
Oh sure … and thanks for visiting mine!
It’s an out breath and an elegy, Denise – great stuff!
Thanks for your loyal visits Lynn!
Beautiful and thoughtful post! Indeed, the serenity and fulfillment we experience through our photography is ultimately the true reward. Hopefully others are inspired when we share our art.
Thank you … I’m glad we agree on the true reward. It’s good to remind ourselves of that from time to time as well.
