Skywatch Friday - Sky or aloes?

I thought these aloe striata did a nice job of enhancing the bit of sky that is visible. This scene was taken in the Karoo, at the base of the Grootwinterhoek Mountains.



Skywatch provides links to many great pictures from around the world. Pop in you will not be disappointed.

    The Coral Aloes are always beautiful. And you don't need a blue sky to have a good sky picture
