Keweenaw Skies

I've never seen skies like there are here.  In St. Louis, you get two skies, one usually to east or north east and one in the west or southwest.  Here it's totally different!

Mark and I went for our evening walk tonight. As we walked, Mark noticed the sky.  We have a storm predicted to arrive after midnight, but at that time everything was still and a little humid. We noticed that in each direction, there was a totally different and distinct sky.  Right then I wished I had brought my camera.  To the west, there was a spotted yellow/white cloudy sky - just like you took a stencil brush and pounded whitish/yellow paint all over the western sky.  To the south, there were long streaks of clouds, pink and feathery.  To the east, over the canal, an azure and turquoise sky with one flat, solid looking cloud - it sat right over the canal.  And to the north, the sky was cloudless dark blue.  We stood in awe!  Each division melded into each other, but yet they were very distinctive. During the last four years, we've seen some very different skies here...but not quite like this.  I've been able to capture some of the others and I'll share them with you:

I call this the fist cloud

Clouds over Lake Superior

We get fog often, usually in the early morning and it burns off by 9am

We've had a few instances of this sky - I call it the dinosaur sky

just a pretty sunset on the lake

This is a typical sunset here

This is sunset over our house

This is the sunset we saw from the car on our way back from Marquette, MI last week

I hope I never get used to the skies here - they are awesome and make me realize that I am just a speck in the universe!
