Typical Winter Sky

I live in Colorado which is always cold and snowy, right? Actually, it's usually sunny. Here's a typical winter sky from a recent walk in a nearby park when I took the fisheye lens.
We do get snow, but at our relatively low elevation (7,100 feet or 2,164 meters above sea level) it rarely sticks around for long as that bright, warm sun melts it quickly.

Shitennō-ji

Shitennō-ji (四天王寺) is a famous Buddhist temple in Osaka.
Originally built in 593, most of the current buildings are from 1963 when it was rebuilt.
As you'd expect, it's beautiful and peaceful.
Unfortunately, the famous pagoda was surrounded by scaffolding so I posted my only photo of that last week.
We did climb the pagoda but photos weren't allowed inside. Nevertheless this amazing place was a highlight of our visit to Osaka.

Shitennō-ji

We'll explore more of Shitennō-ji next week, but until then here's a Skywatch Friday shot of it.

Copper!

It's ski season, and so far it's shaping up to be a good one. Since I have a phone I can take photos anywhere!
There's lots of snow in the mountains.
There's nothing like a day on the slopes at Copper Mountain, and getting home in time for dinner!
