Same View, Different Skies

These twin minarets can be found atop a mosque down the street from school. I took photos of them on days when the weather was quite different ...

Gray skies ...

Cloudy skies ...

Brilliant blue skies ...

The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.

Have a terrific Tuesday! Friendship blessings, Tammy

    Oh Tammy
    I love your 3 sky images with the minarets - how amazing to see this exotic view every day!
    That is such a beautiful Emerson quote - especially for all of us who love taking sky pics, now I feel it's quite special!!!
    Have a great week - I've only got 9 more sleeps until my little fairies arrive....

    I love the quote! :)

    Hope you have vivid skies today. It's very blue and clear here, but oh so very, very cold (way below zero).

    OMG Tammy, what a gorgeous mosque! Those minarets are really amazing. Your pictures of them are just beautiful.
    What a blessing to see such beauty everyday. Sometimes I crave to live somewhere with beautiful architecture.

    Amen sister! I always enjoy the morning sky on my way to work. Often times the sunrise is amazing, other times the clouds are in wonderful patterns. I love a stormy sky with lightning. Those minarets are very pretty.
    Have a wonderful day.

    The minarets are beautiful under any of these skies....I do feel a little partial to the clear blue skies though as blues and whites/creams go so nicely together.
