Sunday Stills Challenge – Big Sky
Our challenge from Ed this week was…..”So for this challenge use the rule of thirds and set your horizon in the bottom third of the pic and get some great sky shots. Day or night, cloudy or sunny. Cool blue or white from total cloud cover or spotty clouds. Even use sunrises and sunsets, the possibilities are endless….”
Well, this past week was totally gloomy with rain for most of five days, turning to snow on the fifth, although we only got a smig of the snow it was very overcast. Yesterday was nice and sunny, but we were out in the car most of our day. Ed was in Maryville/Alcoa, so we went up there to meet him for lunch and some shopping.
Here are my shots for this weeks challenge……..Ed didn’t say we couldn’t use archieves, so here are some of my favorites. The first shot is to show you what we saw most of the week.
Favorites from my archieves:
And, this last shot was what we saw as we drove into Maryville to meet up with Ed……looked like something from “Once Upon A Time”!!
Looks like lots of folk joined in the challenge this week so I’m off to get a fresh cup of coffee and then spend time looking at everyone elses entries. Have a lovely week. Looks like it will be cold here.

Great shot. The second from the bottom one is really special. Haven’t seen anything else like it this week.

Dull dreary days…bah humbug! You came up with some great archive photos!

I love that you included the gray sky too! Such a great contrast and some weeks are just like that! But I’m awfully glad that you went through your wonderful archives, because those pictures are just wonderful.

The rainbow was a nice suprise! Winter can be so dull some days when we want photos that have some color and life!
