This is a beauty of a shot. I love it. Love the steeple shape and color against the beautiful blue sky.

Congrats on your new blog.

Awesome shot!!

Linda said...

It's hard to say anything but beautiful anytime you see that cross in the blue sky. A reminder of what Jesus did for our sins.
And a great place to keep our focus.

A beautiful old-fashioned steeple against a scenic blue sky: nice shot! I like the way the angles of the steeple break up the natural sky.

Carletta - this picture is heavenly peaceful and beautiful. In Norway we have the same word for heaven and sky - both are called: himmel :)

Hi Carletta, this is a pretty steeple. It looks good against the blue sky.
My sky is bluer (TEXAS) but I'm not doint Skywatch. I couldn't keep up with it.
We have a smaller crowd at 'Looking at the Sky.' Come peek in at the LITTLE P&P.
