Waiting for Day One: -1 (Part II)

And to the last chapter of our "Waiting for Day One" series!

We're back in Italy, with pictures from Sara.

There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, 

and they're absolutely free. 

Don't miss so many of them.

So, here we (almost) are, and there are still so many pictures of past skies that I haven't had a chance to post, yet. I'll try my best tonight.

Here are more European skies from my friend Chiara!

But the sky is interesting, 

it changes all the time.

Today we tour Italy, thanks to many friends who sent in their pictures!

[...] watching the clouds float across the sky, 

is by no means a waste of time.

There is freedom for you, on the breezes of the sky

And you ask "What if I fall?"

Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?

How was your Sunday?
Winter time starts today in Europe, and since it was a typical grey & damp day in Berlin I spent the extra hour reading a book! Happy me!

And now, to the sky!

Look at the wonderful picture Marisa took!

There was a skyness to the sky 

and a nowness to the world 

that he had never seen or felt or realized before.

[Neil Gaiman]

Marisa - Near Mantua, Italy

 In the meantime, Monica keeps taking pictures of the sky in the USA!

Waiting for Day One: -8 (Part II)

What about some moon?

thus moves the moon now when I look above, 

there is no glimmer of the light I love.  

instead, all like a flower unfurled, 

her face shines on your mortal world.

In Berlin today we had wonderful weather! Just look at the colours!

Chiara - Berlin - October, 24th 2015 - Afternoon

Chiara - Berlin - October, 24th 2015 - Afternoon

I know there are trees in those pictures, but that's what I saw looking up anyway, and the yellow of the leaves against the blue sky is really beautiful!

Okay, okay. Here's the sky without the yellow trees:

Chiara - Berlin - October, 14th 2015 - Afternoon

But you know what? Sometimes you can see the sky even when you look down.

Chiara - Berlin - October, 24th 2015 - Afternoon

Or around. Yes, it's a Ferrari.

Chiara - Berlin - October, 24th 2015 - Afternoon

That's all for today, we'll share more pictures tomorrow. In the meantime, don't forget to look at the sky!
