It is time for the weekly installment of Sky Watch Friday. Since I have started to participate in Sky Watch I have noticed that I look for things with good sky in the back ground. Our family does not let any grass grow under our feet so we get to see allot of things and travel to many places. Every where I go these days I am looking for things projecting into the sky to shoot for these days.
With that being said a few weeks ago we traveled to Elk County, Pennsylvania to watch and photograph wildlife. For those of you that come here often you already knew that, but I needed to point it out to the once a week viewers. On the way there this Notre Dame family stopped at State College to check out the PSU campus. It was a great sky day with what my son and I jokingly call fluflious, cumleous clouds (since we make these words up I attempted to spell them as we say them). Seeing these behind Beaver Stadium, Sky Watch Friday immediately came to mind. So we found a place to park and off I go with the camera. That happens allot with us. Do you think Joe Pa had anything to do with the blue sky and white clouds at blue and white Penn State?
Of course being at Bristol Motor Speedway last week was no different, I found myself photographing many things in the sky or projecting into the sky for future post. I would like the people not familiar with Sky Watch to be able to access the sites, but being a computer dummy when I tried to put the little Sky Watch box on my site to the left as a link I could never get it to work. So I will do it the one way I know how, http://skyley.blogspot.com/ . That worked, but remember for those in my time zone it won't be active until 2:30 p.m. Please check out the other sites and I hope you enjoy them.

Great shot for Skywatch! Nice job! Mine's up too hope youcan drop by... asking for your vote too... thanks a lot! Happy weekend!
I just call them marshmallow clouds, and I think they are beautiful.
Hah! I have a sort of similar photo up this week too. The clouds are really spectacular between your buildings, Brad.
Great SWF photo!
The clouds looks very spectacular behind those building!Drop by if you got a chance, HERE.
Nice work. I like this scene and the clouds are very nice.
See my SkyWatch post here > Canon Pixels
Brad: Wonderful Sky capture with the stadium in view.
Great capture.
Good framing. Happy SF.
Hallo Bradley,
yes SWF makes us thinking and feeling in a special way. An idea starts people joining together all over the world.
Thank you for the shot and your words.
Have a nice weekend
Hartmut
Great shot... I'm always doing that too. Looking up up up for something good for the Sky Watch posts for future posts... as often I'm looking down at flowers or the water, or at fish or wildlife, insects, etc...
Thanks for coming by and the nice comment on my blog. I really do appreciate it.
Mountain Retreat
Ha ha, when you see man/woman with a camera around his/her neck and is looking upwords, you'll know there will be a SWF post next thursday :-)
I like this :-)
Beautiful picture
Love it. You're right--always looking for things that look good in front of the sky. This one is great with the cloud peeking from behind.
Impressive clouds you got there.
I do the same. Each time I go outside I look up to see if the sky is nice enough for SWF post.
Great SWF post!
Great photos Bradley and yes, SW certainly does make you look at the sky in a different way
fantastic picture!great sky
Yupp - great SWF shot again - you're good at this!
Perfect shot for swf!
These are wonderful clouds, a great backdrop and frame for the stadium lights!
Thanks for the visit! It's funny but I do, like you do, watch the sky more intently than I did before I joined sky watch.Your photo is good.
great shot! the sky is so lovely and wonderful..
Very nice shot! Perfect for SWF:)
Great shot of the white fluffy clouds! You are right, I look at the sky and all of life a little differently now, because of SkyWatch! Great photo!!!!
Wonderful photo of the piled up clouds - I like you and your son's joke about the names. I think "fluflious" would describe them very well. :D
This is a different take! Nice framing and interesting clouds.
Great clouds with the surround of the building. Happy SWF!
I love the blue sky and fluffery clouds, as well as the composition in this shot. Beautiful. I make up words without even knowing I'm doing it half the time, ha.
What a great post for the start of football season.
Sky Watch does have that effect on folks, you spend more time thinking about what we see and how it looks. Great photo and thanks for your kind comments on my post earlier.
I always call them "fluffer nutters." (Don't tell anyone!) Great skywatch post!
Lights, camera, action! Nice shot.
Love your deer below too.
Great photo - I like the strong vertical lines.
Hi Brad,
This is a lovely well-framed sky!
I do like seeing something in front of the sky sometimes. :)
That's a lot of fun! I like your thoughts, too. Thanks.
Good SWF Brad....glad to see you picked a good school:0)
You're a busy guy. This is a big sky and I love it. Beautiful blue for a background.
Great photo!
very artistic capture - glad you liked mine of the fire-fighting on the hill
It is a very nicley famed shot, the cold metal against such a cool blue sky.
Great framing against the sky - it looks so impressive.
Very nicely done!!
it looks like steam coming out of the building - brilliant shot
Thanks all for the wonderful comments. There was really allot of great sky watch photographs this week.
I thought about what Hartmut from Germany said in his comments, it is very neat how one site with a weekly post can bring people from all parts of the world together. You start to get to the piont that think you know some of the people.
Thanks to the sponsors for giving us a vacation day each week that allows us to travel all over the world.
I like the way the stadium gives the sky it's enormity.
Cheers
You were in my area then in Elk County. :)
Of course, Jo Pa makes the sky blue and white. Goddess is a Penn State fan after all!! :)
fabulous cloud formations
Great composition.
Have a good weekend!
Hi Brad, thank you for visiting my site!
You have posted a beautiful sky watch picture and I think it is from a part of town which you like a lot :)
Have a nice weekend!
Wow, that's a fluffy one! Good SkyWatch contribution. Thanks for your visit.
It looks like the clouds are desending on the field. Wouldn't that be a bad thing? :-)
Love those "fluflious" skies and you take great SkyWatch pictures. I enjoy visiting your blog and all the other photos you post there. Have a great weekend.
Must have been a great day at the races with that beautiful sky above. Nice job! :-)
Great photos, and great blog. I especially like you & your family's made up cloud words! Great choice for SWF too. . .happy Labor Day.
Great photo, Happy SWF!
