skywatch friday: the inaugural etxerantz edition

I have recently become aware of the Skywatch Friday concept since I have been following the stunning work over at San Francisco Daily Photo (thanks for the inspiration). I am fairly obsessed with the sky, and I know that it will not be difficult to find sky-themed photos in my library, so I thought that it would be fun to join up with the skywatch community.

Since I have posted several recent photos here in non-skywatch-specific contexts, for my first skywatch post here is a flashback to my former life in Utah Valley.

Provo City Power, May 2008.

I'm glad the stacks in your pic were not the creators of the clouds.; August 15, 2008 at 2:33 PM

When the light is right it can be be quite beautiful as well. I invite you to come see my mackerel sky. - Margy; August 15, 2008 at 2:43 PM

"You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden, even though you have someplace where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone. [...] You'll see one day when you move out. It just sorta happens one day and it's gone. You feel like you can never get it back. It's like you feel homesick for a place that doesn't even exist. But maybe it's like this rite of passage, you know? You won't ever have that feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know for, for your kids, for the family you start; it's like a cycle or something."
