This post is for Sky Watch one of my favorite places to go and see the sky all around the world. Please have a look at the other photos there.
I am thinking of returning to blogging sometime soon but I wonder if there is anyone out there still interested in reading my blog????? It has been such a long time. I have been away for months....I had to retire from blogging for a while as I had trouble with my eyes and they needed some fixing...... I still read many of my favorite blogs as much as I can and hope I can connect up with you all soon. I may not blog very much but hope to check in and do a blog now and then. Please leave me a comment if you wander in here and let me know what you think of my new wide angle lens and also please check out the other sky watch postings at the above link or the link on my blog on the Sky Watch badge at the bottom of the page.
The picture is of the clouds at Fisgard Lighthouse taken with a 10 - 22 wide lens but on a small digital camera so not as wide as on a full frame.

I'va not visited your blog before, but if you keep bloging I promise I'll be back. You have so many beautiful shots :)
I love the wide angle lens and are using one myself sometimes. It gives the clouds and the sky new dimensions and it shows too in your photo. I also like the colours with white, blue and red, the colours of the sea. :)
Fantastic, bright and breezy :)
Beautiful blue sky and I absolutely adore lighthouses! Great photo!!!!!
I look forward to your blogs! Keep on getting better!
Debbie

I always like lighthouse photos, and this one is very nice.Looks very well maintained.
What a gorgeous lighthouse! I've never seen one that looks as though there is a modern home built onto it! Beautiful photo!
How are you liking your new lens? I don't use my wide angle very often, but when I do, it accomplishes so much more than I could have imagined. I can no longer live without it!
Your fans are still here. We all vote--RETURN.

Wow! I like lighthouses and used to photograph many of them along the coast of Maine back in my film days. The clouds are so dramatic and the lighthouse has so much character. Thanks for commenting on my Quincy blog which led me to yours.
Your images are beautiful and postings are always interesting... Hope you come back...
That is really dramatic! And beautiful and nostalgic. Welcome back!
superbly composed!!
welcome back!!
Magnificent shot of a lighthouse (?) and the sky looked awesome in this photo. Great wide template here, I'd say. Hope all is well now with your eyes. Not much blogging I agree.
your picture is beautiful ! I love lighthouses !
For one who was away such a long time and getting 42 comments ! I can only say congratulations, lol ! I never had that and I blog every day !
Good luck for your eyes, I hope they are good now.
Beautiful picture with a beautiful sky, and so nice to have you back and blogging again.
It rivals the Leaning Tower of Pisa! But I realise that's just clever perspective!
Thanks for visiting me!
Beautiful snap. It does look like the clouds are touching the light house or the building.
Absolutely stunning... it is nice to see you back.. I would love to see you back on a permanent basis but if health ails you, then you have to do what is best... I would definitely be a regular visitor once more.
~Michele~

i love this photo...the colors, the sky. amazing place.
Judging from this one photo I would say that you should continue, as it´s so good, but it´s not that simple sometimes. Heh, you have 42 comments on your return post now so what are you worried about?:-)

First, greetings from Australia. Just want to say thank you for visiting my skywatch blog. My apology for not coming to soon as I was away just as mine was the featured host.
Second, I love your Lighthouse. It is picture perfect actually. Mind if I write a poem about your picture?
You may want to see sample of my picture poetry in my Morphing with Words by poetry blog.
At the moment, am not in my element to write but if I do, I'll surely seize the opportunity when my mind is in its working order.
I ask per your disclaimer. Thanks a lot.
Welcome back! Your header and this image are fantastic! both are great shots of the od lighthouse!
Hi Ocean - good to see you posting again. Just catching up after my holiday. Looking forward to seeing more results of your new lens; good start though!

Oooooh, I would love to get a wide lens for my Nikon D60... but it's just not in the budget until I get a job. >;-\

Hi, I am catching up with my emails, and noticed you'd left a comment on a post on my veggie garden. I am so addicted to posting, and also try to keep up with my blog reading. Sometimes I think I should stop, but I just keep doing it, and having great fun. You are an excellent photographer!
