And then I'm done, and I can go home
Actually I have no idea what number skywatch I'm posting but the random number spoke to me so it shall be. You'll know my musical tastes my now so I make no apologies for the outrageous use of part lyric and tweaking of a particular word too explain the image.
Simply Nirvana to be amongst the clouds looking down on the island, though not Ramsey. That would be the North. This would be the Southern bit of these here parts. Well the airport is South of the island so that'd be where we were heading. Unless you count Jurby airfield. Let me see, trip to the prison, thanks but no thanks. This was also the I'm sooooooooooooooooooo bored on the short journey back from England, oh why can't I be back in the South of France let's play with the point and shoot camera for a bit shot. Here's a tip for you though. Don't start being creative and doing that whole " hello I'm taking part in the 100 strangers photo thing on flickr.... may I take your picture" for some reason means translates as I'm a terrorist. Not like I used the word shoot, or (flash) gun. Not like any of that last bit was true either, just the image above and a glimpse of the island as seem from the sky.
Been a while since I skywatched so I'll have to check in later but here's the link back to the Skywatch team http://skyley.blogspot.com/

Lovely soft, cuddly clouds. I love being able to look down on clouds. In fact I love the whole bird's eye view idea.
ReplyDeleteSylvia just thought something a little different to get me back in the skywatch saddle. Jabblog, love being up there so surreal and you really do see just how small the island is.
ReplyDeleteWhich bit of the island would that be then? PRETTY Awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you back. I love the view from a plane, Hubby and I fight over the window seat.
ReplyDeleteI love shots from airplanes!You did a great job!Very beautiful photo.Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view of the white puffy clouds from the top.
ReplyDeleteThe south D, like were the airport is. Martha cheers, long overdue and surprising how easy to slip back into and how welcoming everyone is. Steffi it was handy having the point and shoot with me instead of the big camera. Love to do it again.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you back in the Blogosphere! Why oh why would you want to be back in France when you can be HERE with US?! :)
ReplyDeleteBee-U-Tee-Ful Sky!!!
ReplyDeleteEG Wow... when you put it like that I'm so happy to be back. Tricia TY, one of the better island days, Rajesh cotton wool balls they looked like. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I do like the above the clouds shot. It's been many years since I flew. Brings back memories.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clouds, Babooshka! Very Good
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
I wish you a happy weekend!
Nice to see the sky from above.
ReplyDeleteNo rain!!!
ReplyDeleteso glad you're back. you were gone for a loooooooong time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view and great clouds!
ReplyDeletea long time ago I used to think that taking my camera on the plane and shooting out the window was just too juvenile--too childish.
ReplyDeleteBut then...
I flew from Kansas City one early December morning--before sunrise--to Las Vegas.
And I've never been the same about it.
I got fantastic shots. In fact, one turned out so well, right at sunrise, some 20 or 30 thousand feet up that I use it for the header of my blog: http://moravings.blogspot.com/.
You might check it out.
There's lots more, too.
Thanks for sharing.

That's what I call a breathtaking shot.
ReplyDeleteI've never been that high, but I allways like photo's taken above the clouds.
Enjoy your weekend!
Cool shot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot, - you could almost jump out and bounce on the clouds.
ReplyDeleteWell, you gave us a skywatch with a bird's-eye view! These clouds look just like a down comforter.
ReplyDeleteHeavenly, literally and figuratively.
ReplyDeletelove the sea of clouds! it's endless! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! That's a beautiful shot of the top side of the clouds. I am looking forward to more shots of the Swing Bridge!
ReplyDeletehahaha! i can see the headline--Point & Shoot Terrorist Targeting Island!

Well written, well shot, great post!!

I love sky shots from airplanes.
ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend.
cheers from Uruguay
Thank goodness you were in a plane at the time.
ReplyDeleteAhhh. Been a long while since I saw this view firsthand. But just where have you been anyway? There's been SO much going on while you were away... You wouldn't believe. Hell, I scarcely believe.
ReplyDeleteI like that view, especially when you are heading out. :)
ReplyDeleteYou were one of our first visitors when we started out blog two years ago. So glad you are back! Ramsey needs to be represented on the blogosphere and what better person to do it than YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Babooshka, welcome back to Skywatch with a sky high picture.
ReplyDeleteI like the view from up there but unfortunately I am also always conscious of the distance to the ground, so I am always grateful when we touch down.
beautiful clouds formation!
ReplyDeleteIt's always such a buzz to fly up above the clouds and see them from the other side.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you posting your skywatch shot. Love the view of the clouds from the plane. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat view... and great title! :-)
