SkyWatch #36

skywatch

Welcome to rural northeast Iowa, U.S.A. where fire-breathing dragons rule over sunsets!

Have no fear……its not really a dragon. (Its an old hay mower.)

Next we have a mountain range etched in evening sunlight:

Nah……you’re too smart to be fooled……there are no mountains in Iowa.

Here’s one more sunset scene for good measure:

  2. All magnificent shots and I like your humorous take on them. :) I think Kansas and Iowa have similar skies, since the terrain is very much alike...

  9. The dragon is brilliant. I think I'll just put my camera back in its box and consider drinking as a hobby.

  17. Hi, Arija, Babooshka, Laura, Patti, nature ramblings, Lene, Poetikat,

    Thanks to all of you, too, for stopping by to view these sky pictures and for your great comments!

    As a kid, I often pretended the clouds on the horizon were mountains. What else can we do here in flat Iowa??

    The fire coming from the dragon's nose was caught by accident.

  18. Lovely sky watch photos. You had me fooled on the mountains for a moment. I'm glad you cleared it up or I'd be searching all over the 'net looking for where there are mountains in Iowa!

    Thanks for coming by my blog for SWF!
