Skywatch Friday

(Click the pictures for a larger image)

It was a really hot day shortly after the end of summer when my oldest daughter took a break from playing:





















Last wednesday I was in a meeting that was being held at the 23rd floor of the main office of a company I used to work for back in the days their tallest office only reached seven floors into the sky:
















The meeting had come to an end and I witnessed people making clouds:
















Just before the meeting started I tried to find my house but all I could find were the piramid-like buildings (the ones shaped after the christmas-tree in the architect's office) that are located at a mere five minute walk from my place:
















A few days ago I got startled by this flock of birds that previously sat peacefully on the edge of the building across the street from my house. Luckily I had just finished placing a phonecall with my camera. Something (or someone) startled them:
















Note: Every SWF-picture published here is shot with my trusty Nokia N93 mobile phone and is unedited. For more Skywatch Friday photo's from around the globe, please check http://skyley.blogspot.com/

Mooi gevarieerd SWF-logje.
Hoewel ik het niet zo heb staan op dat soort rookpluimen, vind ik vooral je derde foto erg mooi.

Wow, you really write a lot!
Even in English.. well, doesn't seem to be a problem to me.
Hope this works.
