Such Splendid Skies

This morning in Centerport, Long Island, looking north towards Connecticut.

So  tranquil and quiet.
This afternoon from 23rd Street looking west towards New Jersey. 

Such drama. A front approaching. Snow. Storm. Something. The flag should be waving on top of a castle.

Such billows with darkness above.

  9. The top photo could have been taken on a summer's day - all those lovely shades of blue. It's soooooooooo cold though.

  10. I simply love watching the everchanging skies, and you captured some interesting images! Did it snow, after all?

    I watched and photographed Mars and Jupiter last night, and this morning's sky was so beautiful, I had to take the camera to my window again. I wonder what my neighbours think of me. *giggle*

  11. Those seductive waters rolled right past my home area before swishing down to 23rd street...it's cool how so many people, perhaps a hundred miles apart (say Albany to NYC), can enjoy the beauty of a specific work of nature as the majestic Hudson River...

  13. Beautiful, beautiful skies!!! I can stare at them all day..each day, hour and minute they changes and they always make me happy..except the dark skies. It's monsoon season here and heavy showers in the evening..turning my garden into mini pools.. :D

  18. Was it snow? Did it blow over?

    We keep getting a promise of snow or sleet, but so far nothing but frosty cold or damp cold.

  19. When we lived in LA my husband then (a New Yorker)was so bored with the weather...his comment was he missed real weather like in New York!! Those sky images are wonderful...did you receive snow?
