Sky Watch Friday 27



















The sun deserted us today and we had threatening weather.
These pictures were taken while I dodged outbreaks of rain.

The first is Hanley Monument, dedicated to a local, influential family many years ago.

The second is a town residence with a retail business on the ground floor.
Can you see the terracotta dragon on the roof apex.

The last you have seen before. It is the Mill in Moneys Yard, and marks the centre of town.

To enlarge the picture just click on it.

To see many more Sky Watch Pictures from around the world, click on the Sky Watch Banner in my side bar, on the right.

The concept for Sky Watch was originated by Dot and a team of like minded people joined the meme which flourished.

There have been many other people who dedicate time and energy to maintaining a seam free running of the programme.
Thank you all for your unstinting work.

The architecture reaching up into the clouds is impressive. I enlarged to see the dragon. Cool!

Great shots! Love the differences in architecture. It's hard to pick a favorite.

I love the way you showed the skies above three architecturally distinct buildings.

Beautiful shots, great architecture and even the stormy skies are lovely! Hard to choose a favorite, but I think I'll pick the first one. Thanks for sharing!

The first by a whisker, but they are all so atmospheric.

these three photos are all great ones. I do love the dragon and the clock on the residence.

Happy to see you celebrated Harmony Day, too.

BD: Very neat shots when the sky doesn't co-operate. I thought the last was a lighthouse.

Michele said...

Oh nice... I really did like the third one with its very black striking appearance... but really, they were all very quite nice!!!

Hugs and kisses to you, my friend!♥

Very threatening skies, and what a great variety of architecture.
