Sky above Mygardenhaven

Sunrise from my bedroom window.


I love the silhouette of the coconut trees. This typically tropical look is fast disappearing and being replaced with steel and concrete buildings. I tell myself to enjoy the view each day before all the trees are no longer there. Taking photographs like these is one way of treasuring them, and documenting the scene in an image for posterity.







Moonlit night from my study window.


I was entranced by the visibility of sweeping cloud formations even in this light, and clicked away without noticing that I had captured with my camera the source of this light, the benevolent moon high up above the trees, lending me her soft light in lieu of my camera flash light.

I would like to thank Skywatch Friday for making me more aware of the beauty in the skies above me than I had ever been.

A Forest Green Dawn

It is time I woke up early to capture a sunrise in my own backyard! My camera seems to be pointed skywards only when I am on vacation, and I have been busy capturing New Zealand skies, Bali skies, Monaco skies...any sky but the sky above my own roof!


So this is a tribute to a sunrise sky above Forest Green, where we are to be found once a week. Despite the name, Forest Green is not a woodland and is actually nowhere near a forest. There's a bit of greenery surrounding the area, though, so the name is justified. It is a condominium near the city and it is easy enough to capture the panoramic scene from the balcony of our twelfth  floor apartment. I like looking out in the early hours of the morning when everything is shadowy, still and mysterious.



















Feels good to have documented this scene. Next assignment - document the sunrise over my garden haven.


Co to Skywatch Friday for more fabulous skies.
