SkyWatch Friday from the school I work at


Early a.m. 12/10/08:


Nebraska's State Capitol can be seen from our grounds, but this was taken 12/10/08, late afternoon, from a second floor window:


The rest of the pics were taken after work, around 3:00 to 3:30 p.m. CST today.  The low building in the back is part of the football stadium for the school:


Lights for the football stadium:


I love my new zoom, even though a hand comes on to tell me I am shaking my camera.  Here's the Sower on top of the capitol:

  5. Thanks Cameron, Bo, and Kay! I love taking pictures with my new camera, and am hoping the winter goes by quickly, as I am excited to see how it does with the flowers and butterflies.

  8. Things are definitely looking up! Nice view of the capitol. Does that translation widget work well for you Sue? My sister is looking for one. I directed her here.

  9. Thanks Sunshine and Tina,
    I have heard the translator widgets don't work well. No one has let me know if they've used it or not. I used one on a site tonight, and was able to get the meaning of what was said. I think it was a Google one. Who is your sister, Tina? What is her blog?

  11. My sister is Dawn at C & G Design. I did click on your widget and it would not close out once the code showed. So I am glad you mentioned the widget problems. I directed her to you but she is also on my sidebar. Thanks for asking.

  12. Terrific! I went to college in Lincoln and have only been back once, right after I graduated, in 1987. I had almost forgotten what the Capitol buidling looked like!

  15. The clouds are lovely, but I'm struck as much by the spacious grounds of the school. I imagine those football field lights make quite a glow!

  23. Nice series of photos. Aren't zoom lenses just the best thing ever?

  24. I love looking at the sky. The state capital is quite distinctive. it looks like a wonderful early art deco tower.
    I love seeing you collections in the earlier post.

  27. I read your sidebar note on Awards. This is not an award, but just a little stamp that you may use, or pass along, or just view and forget. I made it myself, it has no rules.

  28. Those are fantastic Skies, Sue. How can it change so much during one day!
    Actually, our family mood is like your Sky upon the Football stadium. It needs lights. I hope our faith will help us to find again a peaceful sky as your first pink/violet one.
