As I was driving home the other night I was amazed by the sky. It struck me. If I saw a painting and the sky was like that I'd think "that artist has used a lot of imagination as the Sky never looks like that". yet here it was, crosshatched clouds and subtle shades of greyblue as the sun went down.

Sunshyne, that is an absolutely stunning photo! Thanks for capturing the moment and sharing with us. When I have a moment like that it's very spiritual for me...

Very nice Sun. I also like taking these types of pics - sky, clouds, sun and the mix of colors. Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous! enough to frame. The best skies I ever see are when I'm driving, too.

Lovely. You're right, isn't it sad how the best skies we see are usually while we driving, and usually it's not possible to appreciate them?

That's a gorgeous picture. As an artist, I easpecially love the natural "crosshatching." It is one of my favorite shading techniques!

Thx for your comments. I had to share it as I've never seen natural crosshatching here West Coast Canada before! (me too, Hermione but I'm not good at it. I'm mostly pottery designs, glazing and watercolours) I confess. I didnt stop the car, simply held up the camera and took the pic thru the windshield. New Camera! }

sony cybershot DSC W50 super easy to use / comes with a rechargeable battery and the wallplug charger. I got it on Sale for $199.00. my first digital. I have three Film cameras but WOW it is great to see the pic immediately after taking it. the zoom is quite excellent as well. these glacier pics are taken from same approx spot on the road... two diff days

I have to say, as far as point-and-shoot cameras go...I REALLY like Sonys for their color and crispness.

Sonys probably do more processing in the camera than any of the other point and shoots. That is why so many people like Sony for their vivid color and sharpness. Nice pictures Sunshyne.

I love my Sony. It's so easy to use and pretty much idiot proof (I never took good pictures before I got it, lol!) I've also found since it is so easy to use that I take my camera with me almost everywhere and at home I use it far more often than I would my old camera. Love digital! Those are great pics Sunshyne.

Sunshyne, on a clear day, which is practically never, I can see those snow-capped mountains from right where I am sitting now. I am pretty much directly east of you in WA state. I think you are on the island.

That is gorgeous. What is that? It looks like a cross between Stonehenge and Easter Island!

Hermi, it's an Inukshuk. It's in English Bay, downtown Vancouver. Three blocks from my place. From Wiki An inuksuk (plural inuksuit) is a stone landmark used as a milestone or directional marker by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic. Inuksuit differ from some cairns in significance. The Arctic Circle, dominated by permafrost, has few natural landmarks and thus the inuksuk was central to navigation across the barren tundra. Inuksuit vary in shape and size, and perform a diverse array of tasks. It is a symbol with deep roots in the Inuit culture, a directional marker that signifies safety, hope and friendship. The Inukshuk is also the Olympic symbol for the 2010 games coming to Vancouver / Whistler.
