Hi Pauli These really are great Sky Watch pictures.. no need for bright orange or blue skies, no need for fantastic views of the landscape or sea views.. just plain old wires and shapes and you have a great Sky Watch picture.. A lesson to us all... ;o) Tom
Euclidean pics. "Blueboard" are nicer than blackboard. In fact I've good "souvenirs" from my maths lessons as a pupil for some years or a teacher for a while.
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

Intersting things in the sky.
I usually try to avoid electrical lines but in this case it certainly gives your photos a different dimension. Nice work...very creative!
Wonderful abstract designs, Paulie!
I love the blossoms below. I took a similar picture today! Yeah!
Geometric sky! I love it. The lines make such interesting patterns. Great catches.
What a great set of shots thru the lines. Well done
Hi Pauli
These really are great Sky Watch pictures.. no need for bright orange or blue skies, no need for fantastic views of the landscape or sea views.. just plain old wires and shapes and you have a great Sky Watch picture.. A lesson to us all... ;o)

Hopefully the voltage is at an acceptable level.
Very good patterns - the crossing was just great!
Thank you for the very nice comments!
Cool photo, Paulie. Electrifying, actually. ;-)
Great idea for the sky post, well done.
Yes, using urban elements to frame sky photos is a very nice idea.
Quite creative.
I love the title to this because I can understand why. It definitely does do that... that's a great idea... nicely done!!!

Nice shot with the wires.
Your previous post is a beautiful sky picture too.
You've made the electrical lines look beautiful and geometric! Good job!

Paulie, beautiful skies - beautiful electrical cables! Ha! My Skywatch photos often have cables in them... but I ignore them.
Paulie,
To answer you question on my blog, the bench is in downtown Bend.
Just wondering how your Blogger situation is working out, Paulie. Any more trouble with pictures?
I have been using slide.com to host photos. I just paste the code into an html window, and it works very well--an easily.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
Interesting designs which usually we don't notice. We are a wired society.
