Today's Guest Host: Jenny Weber

Folly Beach (Charleston), South Carolina
"I love the way the tender pink of the sky kisses the placid ocean's gentle blue horizon. The scattered white cloud fragments seem to be having a dialog with the outstretched wings of the landing gulls. It was a beautiful evening presaging a cold and rainy -- then cold, clear and windy -- winter weekend at the beach!"

"It has been a pleasure  participating in the Skywatch Friday Meme. Its been so amazing to wait for the Friday to begin. This photograph was shot at Andaman when we were on the way to a beached called Elephant Beach from Port Havelock. The scene was right behind me and the small boat that we were traveling on was really shaky. I'm really proud of my wife Mukta who captured this amazing shot despite all the difficulties."

Today's Guest Host: Amity



A wind farm is a group of wind turbines in the same location used for production of electric power.The Bangui Wind Mills were built by the NorthWind Power Development Corporation to contribute  its share in reducing the emission of harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) that cause global warming and to generate power for   rural electrification  by the government.
In this area,  strong wind mostly comes from the north-east, from the sea towards the land. To optimize this wind power, turbines were installed along the shore facing the sea, effectively removing wind breaks, without sacrificing the use of land  between the turbines for other purposes
The 'Wind Farm" as it is aptly called consist of 20 wind turbines. The turbines are on-shore and arranged in a single row spaced 326 meters apart. The turbines' hub height  is 70 meters  (roughly equivalent to a 23 storey building) with each blade 41 meters long (just 9 meters shy of an Olympic-sized pool) giving a rotor diameter of 82 meters and a windswept area of 5,281 square meters.
This picture was taken in a viewing deck along the Maharlika Highway, Bangui, Ilocos Sur, Philippines using our Olympus Digital camera, three years back.

This picture shows one on tops of one of the mountains we love to hike.  The mountains of WV are more than a glorious backdrop for photography!  This one in particular is a pond on the top of a mountain, that we came across, without knowing it was there! We were out, taking in the beauty of our world and found more than we could imagine that night - just by hiking new territory!

                      Skywatch Friday, Season 4, Episode 1

                      It's the Skywatch anniversary!
                      We're turning 3! A good Toddler age.



                      First and foremost - thank all of you for being part of the Skywatch
                      community every week, showing us the beauty of the skies over your heads.

                      And here is how it all came to be:

                      It was created by Dot in 2007:

                      When I started Sky Watch there were very few memes going on. I wanted to start something, but wanted something very simple that anyone could participate in - even the person with a basic camera  
                      I thought on it for days and finally decided on the sky. I was hoping this would be a way for bloggers to interact and share through their pictures and comments. I couldn't think of what to name the meme so I asked a friend and she said "Sky Watch".
                      I asked her if she thought anyone would participate and she said she would but she didn't know about any one else.  I visited and commented on every blog that participated in Sky Watch. 
                      Since I had to go visit family in another state frequently and I asked Tom Wiggers if he 'd like to do Sky Watch while I was gone. He did and seemed to enjoy it so much that I felt bad about asking for it back. so I let him have it. I don't think I could have kept up with it on my own as the visitors were increasing each week.  I'm glad that the Sky Watch Team has kept the meme going.
                      And this is the very 1st Skywatch image posted (Courtesy Dot)

                      Next came Tom, and during his tenure the already successful Skywatch meme doubled in participants. Unfortunately health problems forced him to step it down a notch and so
                      he handed it over to Klaus.


                      Here's Tom's contribution.

                      After taking over in 2008 the idea of having a team looking out for the participants
                      and the Skywatch Meme was born.


                      Imac, Louise, Ivar, Sandy, Wren. Fishing Guy, Sylvia became Team members and made
                      Skywatch what it is today, averaging 300 -400 participants every week.
                      Here's the 1st image after officially taking over from Tom.
                      Next week we will continue with our regular Guest hosts, while we are also working on
                      the Skywatch Showcase.

                        Skywatch Friday, Season 4, Episode 52

                        Hello Skywatchers!
                        Glad you're on board again!

                        Well we had a little hickup. When the current
                        Team took over, there was a mixup concerning the age of
                        Skywatch and we continued under the impression, going into the 4th year - which would lead to the 5th anniversary.

                        ...But Dot - the Skywatch Inventor provided us with the
                        correct date.

                        Skywatch was only one year old, when we took over, making it 3 years old now.

                        Honest mistake - that we hereby correct.


                        Next Week is the big Skywatch anniversary!
                        We're turning 3! A good Toddler age.

                        And here's the plan:
                        1. We're getting a makeover - a new Site Design is in the making.
                        2. We want to make a Skywatch showcase* - a slide show permanently shown
                          on this site - and we want everyone to send in her/his best Skywatch Picture ever.
                          (Send it to: skywatchmyworld@gmail.com with the subject " Skywatch Showcase". Include
                          your name and URL in the message)
                        3. And for next week's edition - post your best, too!

                        "A brilliant spring day at Boat Haven at Port Townsend, Washington. It had rained recently and this surprising rainbow lasted for the longest time, beginning almost flat on the horizon and rising a bit to this low arc as the late-day sun sank lower."

                        My name is Sarah and I post "almost" daily on my Hood Photo Blog. I am an avid nature lover, and much of what you will see on my blog is devoted to the great outdoors. I live in a great area, which is centrally located between deserts, mountains and ocean beaches. The picture I submitted was taken from Central Oregon looking west, just as the sun was going down behind Mt Hood.
