    This is just incredible. It does, indeed, look like the sky is rippled. Reminds me of some science fiction movies. Maybe it’s a time distortion! Wonderful photo!

    Boy that is a rugged looking sky with some fluffy white whisks of clouds floating on by the scars.

    I am now taking a diminishing dose of steroids for my Rheumatoid Arthritis pain and it works. I believe the chemotherapy drug is spelled “Methotrexate” that is used to treat a lot of things from cancer to arthritis will be used next. I just relish in being pain free.

    So I am not participating in Sky Watch Friday just because I might not be able to make it around to all.

    I enjoyed seeing your blog post for Sky Watch Friday and I thought your photography was excellent.

    I don’t know if you like to read or not but if you do this place is amazing.

    I just got my first shipment of used books from Strand’s bookstore in New York City, day before yesterday and they are in excellent condition.

    They have 18 miles of used books. Think about that—18 miles. I had to start out by just choosing a category, like photography, and go from there.

    I don’t know how in the world they can keep track of so many books.

    Look up Strand bookstore or copy and paste the URL here: http://www.strandbooks.com/app/www/p/home/

    Thanks, Petunia. The clouds do make it kind of look that way. Thanks.

    Thanks Rose, I’m glad you like it.

    Picturing, thanks!

    Abraham Lincoln, glad to hear that your meds are working and that you are pain free. Thanks for the tip about the book seller, I’ll check it out. Thanks for visiting.

    Juliana RW, thank you. :)

  13. SandyCarlson Says:

    The sky seems to be a solid surface beyond the clouds. What a deep blue!

  14. Bobbie Says:

    Ribbed is the word for it. Don’t think I’ve seen a sky quite like this one.

  15. Sherry Says:

    Thanks Tom, Sandy, and Bobbie. The sky did look so soft and textured that evening. I took dozens of photos of it! :)

  16. Jim Moore Says:

    WOW, Sherry–talk about texture and contrast!

    This is an amazing sky with intense color too. I’m glad that you photographed it.

    Pretty one for SWF! Which reminds me the quote… “we all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon”…. Mine’s up too hope you can drop by. Happy Weekend!

  19. Sherry Says:

    Hi Jim Moore, thanks for your comments. I thought the sky was so soft looking that evening, almost looking quilted.

    BeritT, and PrettyLifeOnline, thanks for looking. :)

    Hi Spider, it really does look like ripples on water. That’s the first thing I thought when I saw these types of clouds.

    AnneKA, John, MentalMama, Esnorway, thanks for your visit and comments.

    Thanks Carletta, it does look like waves.

    I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything just quite like that – some things similar probably.

  38. Lynn @ theVintageNest Says:

    What a great photo. Love that effect. I also thought your ice and lizard shots were amazing.

  39. Raven Says:

    What an astonishing photo. It’s one of those things that doesn’t look real. Beautiful shot.

  40. Sherry Says:

    Thanks, Marie.

    Gerald, I’ve seen this rippled effect a few times lately. It makes the sky look “quilted”. Thanks for visiting.

    Lynn, thank you, and I’m glad you enjoyed the other photos as well. :)

    Raven, thank you. The ripples always look strange to me, but pretty.

  41. Max-e Says:

    Max, thank you for viewing my photo, I appreciate your comments.

  43. Tom Says:

    I had to call back to see this one again.. I would have loved to have seen this in person.. .. a great Sky Watch agai this week

  44. Sherry Says:

    Hi Tom, thanks for stopping by again. Yes, the rippled sky is beautiful to see. I had seen this before, several times actually and I have many photos of the “ripple” effect. I’m not sure what causes it, but it’s pretty.
