Skywatch Friday from Ireland, West Virginia





We took a drive last week when the weather was beautiful, and wandered through a town in West Virginia called 'Ireland'. Obviously we couldn't help taking lots of photos. Here are a few of the skies there; I'll show you more over the weekend.

For more skies around the world, visit Skywatch Friday.

This is not your usual haunt. Beautiful wide open landscapes perfect for the long drive.

The big birds are either turkey vultures or brown vultures; more commonly called buzzards in the eastern U.S.

Great cloud formations, even the birds enjoy fluttering below.

Lovely shots. My favourite is the third - beautiful cotton wool clouds, great light and lovely contrast with the depth of the blue. BTW I had a look at your other blog - I love your Flash 55 story!
