Skywatch Friday - The Sky and Those to Whom it Belongs


A little time travel here, back to Summer 2009 when I met up with my family at my brother's home in Switzerland. Those Swiss have it good - everywhere you look there are picturesque views, it's astoundingly beautiful. This photo was taking looking out from a funicular going up a mountain (yes, there's the edge of the window frame, sorry about that :)

Dohle (Ravens) native to Pilatus, Switzerland

At the top of the mountain we met these feathered friends, to whom the sky belongs. They were soaring up there, along with some intrepid humans who were leaping off the mountain with parasails - amazing, I'd LOVE to do that!

At the end of the day my bro looks out at this view from his apartment - I don't think I'd ever grow tired of watching the constantly changing sky over the lake from his balcony, would you?

  2. Very nice skies. One of the problems of living in Western Australia is that we have no mountains :(

  3. Beautiful photographs. I've never been to Switzerland (unless I was too young to remember), but I'm sure I'd love it as mountains are my favorite scenery.

  4. Hi there - thanks for visiting my blog - I think you may be interested in my other blog as well - you can reach it from the "about this blog" tab. (In hindsight that does not make much sense!)

    The pictures of the birds - Alpine Choughs I think - are great - they look like they have a bit of personality!
