I don't think I've ever posted two sky shots for one SWF episode before, but we've been having such dramatic skies here lately, that I couldn't resist...
Before the big storms - snow was on its way...
Anacortes, WA
(2/22/11)
And after the storms - a little bit of sunshine...
Oh, we have had some truly dramatic skies lately, haven't we? These are terrific and the first in particular says it all! Terrific captures, Linnea! Have a wonderful weekend!
Just fabulous, you have been blessed with some great views to enjoy. Thanks for sharing with Sky Watch Friday and thanks for your kind comments on my post earlier.
The contrast between the two shots is pretty striking. It helps us exiled desert rats to remember that the Northwest isn't always shrouded in clouds and mist. Have a great weekend--and perhaps more sun!
and great skies they are, too... especially that header photo... Whoa & WoW! =) plus, i love the WHITE reflections in the water... very beautiful!!! =)
Glad you stopped by at Photoblogista. I'm an avid amateur photographer, and I'm using this blog to post my photo memes.
In case you're wondering...I use a Nikon D40 with a Nikkor 18-200 mm lens, my iPhone 5 or iPad, and I use iphoto or Aperture to do minor editing. I always post the location and date of each shot under the photo. Please take a look and feel free to leave a comment. Just click on the photo to make it larger. You are welcome to download my photos for personal or inspirational use. For any other uses - just ask!
Check out my other blog Travels with L & Z where I have lots of photos from travel adventures - both near and far.

I couldn't choose either - they are beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES!!
the ramshackle old building looks good with the sun shining on it.
What a wonderful post - I LOVE Anacortes! My husband and I lived there for a couple years and it is still one of our favorite locations!
Beautiful scenes!
Happy SWF. Enjoy your weekend.

I love the contrasting photos -- the two together really reminds me what it's like back there in the Pacific Northwest this time of year!
Great shots, it looks like some golden light in the second one. It's nice of nature to give us such variety of mood and light.
Beautiful shots. The first is more dramatic, but I like the second best.
Thanks for the visit!
It has been crazy weather! I like the lighting in your second shot after the storm has passed. Are you still up in Anacortes?
There's quite a difference between the two skies, but both are beautiful.
Beautiful skies Linnea.

Hi

Meravigliosi.

Your Washington make me nostalgic, as we used to live there. Your header is stunning.
I know these are supposed to be about the skies, but I really like that old building.
Nice job catching the essence of some storms...dark and threatening one moment, and then blue skies next.
Just fabulous, you have been blessed with some great views to enjoy. Thanks for sharing with Sky Watch Friday and thanks for your kind comments on my post earlier.
two compleately different shots. Love them both. :)
And I love that header shot. It is excellent.
Love the sky and water.. Great color and contrast.
Amazingly blue sky! Wonderful.

Oh, I'm glad you posted both! I love the contrast of drama and peace.
Well, the skies truly are lovely so I'm glad you posted both!
Beautiful skies, I like both shots. The second shot is my favorite, I love the colors and the lighting.
