[SkyWatch] Romania Skies

We drove by car between Bucharest and Vienna through some pleasing countryside in the north of Romania. Sometimes the action in the sky added to the drama of the scene. These were all drive-by shoots on one day.




Romania, 2011

These skies are for SkyWatch Friday and there's a bridge too for Sunday Bridges. Check out those memes for links to many awesome skies and eclectic bridges around the globe.

The third one is the money shot! And to think it was taken through the window of a moving car...

Wonderful skies. I'm just off on holiday and it's raining here (after 6 dry weeks). Consoling myself that skies with clouds are better! I'm beginning to wish you would post your photos bigger - they are so stunning.

Francisca said...

@jennyfreckles... thanks for the appreciation and encouragement. My photos can always be enlarged by clicking on them. I don't know how to change the blog design to show the images larger without spoiling all past posts.

The next to last pic could be California! Are you getting to know the culture there a little?

Kaori said...

Do you open your window when you take drive-by shots? The clouds are so dramatic, I love it! The last photo with the silhouette of the hills is my favorite :D

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend in Romania!

The sky out on a nice show for you.

Lowell said...

Well, I'm certainly glad you got to hit the road, which I know is one of your favorite things to do...and your "drive-by" shots are excellent! Lots of fun. I especially like that first one...reminds me a lot of driving in Colorado...

Beautiful skies -- and I love knowing that you do "drive-bys" (glad to know I'm not the only one who does that).
