[SkyWatch] Blue Sky. Three Seasons?



Kyoto, 2009

On first glance, one could say there are three seasons represented here.  But in fact, the clear blue sky is the same in each image, as I captured these within 20 minutes of each other.

Posted for SkyWatch Friday where amazing skies from around the globe await you.

  5. Fabulous, Francisca, to be able to find examples of three seasons within 20 minutes of each other. You must have been in an amazing place to be able to do that. Where were you this time? At home, perhaps?

  12. Kyoto is northern hemisphere, right? I guess this is understandable depending upon variety. Nice series of shots ... amazing what a sky like does does to an image, hey?

  15. Great post. Was the ginkgo dying?

  16. @tapirgal... no more than all leaves die in fall. These photos were taken on one of the last days of autumn in Kyoto last year. I will post some more yellow ginkgo photos soon. I just love them.

  18. It must have been an odd year meteorologically to have a crop of blossom concurrent with the Ginko turning gold.
    A great trio.

  19. you could have trick us with the spring flowers and fall leaves and th buds.

    Great idea.

  20. How lovely! Spring in Kyoto, Japan. I love the blossoms and the golden foliage of the gingko biloba and the tree in bud. It does fool the eye into believing these represent three different seasons.
