Skywatch Friday



Sky over Assen Race Circuit
28.06.08




It was touch and go!
Would it be a wet or dry race?

As we were getting ready to leave the hotel for the race track I assured everybody the sun would shine....



and it did!


It was very exciting when Valentino Rossi fell off his bike in the first lap, got back on and set off to catch up with the pack!

Each lap he rode he speeded up, we were all cheering, eventually he caught up and coming in 10th.


Throughout the day the sky was full of advertising slogans!




Now as we made our way back to Hoogeveen notice how the sky is getting ready to give us a lovely evening!




The scenery was quite awesome, so flat!




Bluer sky!




That will do nicely thank you!








As we prepared to have our evening meal the sky was a beautiful blue.
The next day we would leave for the ferry home, but the sky had some wonderful gems in store for us....
until next week!

LOL!

A wonderful sequence that tells the story of your day, Denise. I like that first threatening image. What is it that you have managed to freeze-frame in the centre there?

kjpweb said...

Great shots! We have a saying here in Florida (and the same goes for most southern states):
"If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes!" Sometimes it goes from blues sky to black in minutes and back! But you got lucky there, huh?
Cheers, Klaus

Omigosh, those sky shots are exquisite. They're like a painting by Turner or Constable.

When does the next ABC Wednesday start?

BTW, I have "stolen" "what my name means" for my blog. I love it!

Lovely series of photos for your Sky Watch. I'm glad the weather cooperated during the racing events.

I enjoyed the 'Midsummer Night Itch' poem above. Thanks for sharing it.

You always have such fun photos, Denise. These are great. My favorites are the three planes flying together and the reflection. Happy SWF!

I am glad you gave the German GP a miss - the skies would have been dubious to say the least.

Beautiful pictures and it looks like it was a fun day. I like the picture with the reflection of the face in the window.

photowannabe said...

Delightful series. Thanks for taking me to the races.
I love the picture of Jon's reflection in the train window.
Oh yes, its a beautiful blue sky too.
Today we have a real true blue sky. We haven't seen one in over 2 weeks due to all the wildfires and terrible stagnant smoke around. So grateful things have changed.

Unknown said...

Love the scenery, with the flat green under the very blue sky!

Mrs Mac said...
