My husband just loved to be back onboard the ship before dark during our Spanish Mediterranean, Lisbon & Canary Islands cruise with Royal Caribbean. From our balcony, he would mark the end of each day ashore by taking a picture of the sunset. He's particularly pleased with the last one, which he calls "Hole in the Sky"!So, I offer our four favorites of these special photos by Richard Schear for this week's Skywatch Friday.
OMG I love the spotlights!
ReplyDeleteKay: Wonderful captures filled with memories for you.
ReplyDeletegorgeous! i would love to take that cruise myself.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fantastic. The first and last one are my favorites. I love the golden sky and sun in the first and the one that your husband thinks looks like a hole in the sky makes me think of a spot light from the sky.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures, Kay! I love the cruises that I've been able to take and remember how many really glorious skies we saw! Wonderful memories for me as well you!! These are really breathtaking! Hope you have a great weekend!

I love the "Hole in the Sky" shot! Love to take this type of a cruise to catch the great glow near the horizon!
ReplyDeleteThey are all very beautiful, Kay, but I am particularly taken with the silver quality in the third photo. Contratulations to Richard.
ReplyDeleteThank you, the third one is my favorite, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased my husband is turning out to be a good photographer, because my hands get shakier all the time.

Spectacular. Simply that. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteall are stunning but I LOVE the first one. Have a happy sky watching weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose are all amazing! I think I even see a star twinkling in one of those skies! That last one is very strange...never seen anything like it. It's almost as if the beam is guiding the way for your boat. Fabulous shots and how fun to be able to do some skywatching from a ship. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLinnea -- I think the star is a plane. There's a twinkle on the water, too, which I think is another ship.

Love the photos especially the last two!
ReplyDeleteoh..great shot, the second one...I travelled from Stockholm to Helsinki and Tallin, also, by ship and was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteCongrats

Brilliant sunsets! The last one could be used in religious books as an illustration of the creation of the world..."and God said :Let there be light, and there was light"...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment.
Beautiful sunsets. The last two shots are terrific.
ReplyDeleteMagical! How cool to capture the rays of light peeking through
ReplyDeletethe last shot is terrific
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see Lindy’s loveable face on your sidebar. And speaking of wonderful things, what incredible captures Dick got of the evening skies. Very impressive!
ReplyDeletestunning sunsets! you must have had a great time during the cruise! :)
ReplyDeleteyes, the last one definitely looks like a hole in the sky. amazing photos. the 3rd photo is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhichever photo Kay, they are all so glorious ... i love most the second photos effect.. combination of color..awesome.
ReplyDeleteBTW, thanks for dropping by On This Side of Town
All you need do is wait for a few minutes and see the skies changing before your eyes. Very nice post for today.
ReplyDeletePenelope -- you're right. The picture of her sleeping showed the view I have of her from my computer chair, but her face is prettier!!
ReplyDeleteLV -- you're right, too. The sky seen from a ship is an ever-changing vista.
Wil -- At this moment I am wondering how my Jewish-agnostic husband will take your suggestion about his photo on religious books. All comments get sent to him by e-mail. I think it's a wonderful idea, but ... :~)
-- K
I can see why your husband is happy with the last photo! It's spectacular!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious buffet of skies, Kaye! Kudos to Richard. I join the chorus in choosing the last one as my favorite.
ReplyDeleteKay these are beautiful photos, I especially like the one taken from the tram(?). I am very partial to that time at the edge of the world. Your blog is great and I look forward to coming back and reading more. Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSmiles
That hole in the sky is especially wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and your lovely comments about George and Harvey.
Lindy is a beauty. They're such lovely-natured dogs.
Carolyn -- I think you mean the bridge of the ship showing on the right. Our balcony didn't have an unobstructed view but I think the captain's bridge adds character to the shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your compliment. I really like that shot, too.

Some things demand to be a "hole", for example glasses, doors ... that last picture fills the soul indeed. Please have you all a good weekend.

The hole in the sky is the most stunning hole in the sky I've seen. And the first shot just breathes Mediterranean charm.
ReplyDeleteThey are all fabulous pictures, but I think I like the second one best!
