Strange Cloud

Here's a cloud photographed driving at sunset in north Denver. I was stopped at a gas station at the time and I'm sure people wondered what I was doing. One person even waited in their car so as to not get in the way while I took the photo!
It's for Skywatch Friday. It's also a strange weather phenomenon for Tina's PicStory theme of weather.

Portland's Morrison Bridge

For Our World Tuesday and Sunday Bridges, here are my last photos from Portland, Oregon. This is the Morrison Bridge.
If you've been reading my blog for a while you've probably figured out that I'm fascinated with bridges. Unfortunately there aren't many where I live, so I have to photograph them when I'm on vacation.

Korean Temple I

One of my favorite things about visiting South Korea was the incredible Buddhist temples that we saw. Here's the entrance to one.
The beauty and harmony with the natural surroundings is hard to convey in photographs. Since this is an old scanned print, I'm linking it to Vintage Weekly. And I've got many shots from South Korea to follow this one, just check back each Saturday evening.

Capilano Treewalk

The Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver has more things to see than just the bridge (see my post from a week ago). The Cliffwalk wasn't open when we were there, but the Treetops Adventure was.
This consists of seven footbridges attached to the trees, almost 100 feet above the ground.
You really feel as if you're in the forest canopy up there, and it's not to be missed.
And this is my Scenic Sunday entry for the week.

Snowy Sunday

We had another 8 inches (20 cm) of snow Saturday night. We're not complaining - after an almost completely dry March it's great to have some moisture in April, and it makes for nice Skywatch Friday photos! All these photos were taken in our yard early Sunday morning.
 It doesn't take long for the clouds to break up after these storms.
 And before you know it, those classic Colorado blue skies are back!
The timing was perfect, the fertilizer I put on the lawn on Saturday will have soaked in!

Views From Capilano Suspension Bridge

One of the must-visit places in Vancouver is the Capilano Suspension Bridge (although it is a little pricey and touristy). For Tina's PicStory theme of "from above", and for Our World Tuesday, here are a couple of photos taken while standing on the bridge on a rainy day.
Yes, that's my foot in the last one, as I'm leaning out over the railings. Those are trees below!

Seoul View 2

Here's another view of Seoul, South Korea, from a 1998 trip.
It's my only trip to Asia, and I'm linking it to the Vintage Weekly meme.
