Cables in the clouds

A dramatic light show just before and after sunset entertained me as I waited and waited for the bus home to the moshav. Strong winds aloft pushed the clouds rapidly eastward. This is the view from Jerusalem's Central Bus Station.
The Bridge of Strings by Spanish architect Calatrava will be inaugurated on June 25. I'll try to attend and bring you pictures from closer up. The bridge will carry the new light rail or tram (if the tracks are ever finished. . . ).


Pop over to Tom's Wiggers World, host of Sky Watch Friday, to feast on more sky photos.

  37. That is a beautiful Sky, Dina!

    My wife and I recently saw a funny thing happening with a big fat fully -whipped-cream-type of cloud.
    We had heard a weak noise of thunder and went outside on our terrace (unfortunately without my camera!)and saw this totally deep pink-colour lonely cloud in a deep blue sky, with strong lightning-flashes going in and out! It was an amazing sight which I had never seen before. Of course, when I went in to get my camera, the phenomena stopped.

  38. Thank you one and all. And welcome to the new visitors.
    Blognote, your cloud story is awesome.
    Tom, I had to use Google to learn what a string vest is. hehe! I won't tell Calatrava that this is what his expensive bridge reminds you of. :)

    Luiz and Kiwi, these big clouds were unusual for this, our half-year dry season. A few drops of rain were even predicted, but never came.
    Evlahos, wow, your Calatrava in Athens is even nicer than ours. Thanks for this info.

    Y'all's skies were lovely to visit. Thanks!
