Rock,Ice and Storm by George Cousins

We didn’t really want storms when we decided to wander through the great chain of Rocky Mountain parks along the British Columbia/Alberta border (Canada), but the inclement weather proved to be something of a bonus. The drama and mood of the storm clouds, the stark rock peaks of the mountains and the ice sheets in the high valleys and crevasses, all combined to offer new and exciting images of the wilderness. / This scene was taken in Mt. Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Sept.4, 2009 with a Fuji S100FS camera. Featured in “Skyscapes”

Different Shade of Time by Colleen Friedman

Taken from my escape to the fire escape mid day while at work. Such a refreshing sight in the midst of the insanity of my day job!
Milky Way by Shawn Mc

This was taken on a Jetty at Port Elliot near Victor Harbour South Australia with a Canon EOS 400D. f/4 / ISO-1600 / Exposure time – 59 Sec
Sculptured Sunrise by Milton Gan

The weather in Sydney this week has been schizo. 37C heat and wind on Tuesday for Melbourne Cup was not particularly pleasant, especially if you were a bloke trussed up in a suit and tie like me. Then the rest of the week was 15 degrees cooler, cloudy and wet. But it’s all come good today to the relief of several thousand people as Sculpture By The Sea is back. If you haven’t been then you have a week remaining to head east and wander the coast from Bondi to Glamarama to view the ever interesting and unusual works of art. The best time for photos is definitely early: read 5.30am. But for that you get the sunrise and clear shots of all the sculptures. If you come over next weekend for the final days then bring your elbow pads and prepare for cluttered viewfinders! Canon EOS 5D MkII / EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM / 32mm @ f/4, 1/60, ISO 100

About This Group

Welcome to our new moderators – Richard, Trevor, Gabbie and Emsky :))

Kia ora, this group is for skyscapes art that is predominantly sky, as opposed to land or sea. Majestic cloud-filled skys or stormy nights. Sunrises and sunsets. Art where the focus is the sky, not a building, smokestack, moon or anything else unless there’s a fabulous sky in front of or behind it. And if you have two very similar images, it goes without saying that they would look better entered separately than together.

- up to two image uploads per day
- any questions, just ask.
