November Skies

 We've had some pretty skies so far this month. I've been hiking in the local foothills in preparation for an upcomming backpacking hike in the desert (wish me luck!). Hope the skies in your area have been pretty as well, and you've had a chance to get out and enjoy them. Next post I'll take you back out to the desert!
Can you hear me now? I was standing right next to this cell tower, and still only getting two bars of service! I guess that proves that cell towers are provider specific. I have T-Mobile, and this must not be a tower they own or share.
 




Thanks for stopping by!!

  3. WOW I just love the sunsets thru those trees. Great shots for sure. Yes November is really underway. We have decided to try to stay in the Florida area at least thru December. Unless we get a real wild hair, I guess no desert area for us, but I still hold out hope.
    Your site sure spikes my interest.

  4. The vibrant sky makes a beautiful backdrop for the branches flowing like pencil sketches.

  6. Beautiful photos with wind-swept clouds that give energy to these skies! Looking at this tower, the antennae are not cellular antennae which are arranged in a triangular array. The antennae that I see on this tower are most likely radio antennae. Have a great weekend!

  7. Very pretty. I don't know how those towers work. I have an "off brand" carrier that uses ATT towers, but pay a lot less than if I was with ATT. Good luck!

  10. Always a pleasure to stop by and enjoy your photography. Today was no exception. All the best for the future back packing adventure. I assume it is much cooler now for desert hikes.

  11. Idyllic peaceful photos, my favorites are #2 and 4. We have only "not"skies since two weeks, but that's normally here in november.
    Have a nice weekend

  12. There are very few bloggers who consistently, post after post, present such beautifully realized images. You are amazing. Even the Cell tower!

  13. I must agree with Bill . Whatever the subject as always beautiful colored photo's and well balanced in composition and framing. I love every time to see them. Thanks.

  15. Stunning sunsets there. Cell phones here I found T mobile had awful reception where we live. O2 is one of the best which is what I use

  16. Those are indeed some wonderful sky shots.
    Our november skies have been rather grey untill so far.
    Good luck with the preparation of your backpacking hike!

  17. Some nice skies you have for us. I love your funky looking radio tower. Sure has lots of antennas on it.

  18. Lovely shots. What a nice place to hike.

  19. Photo 4 is the one, with the sun framed by those three trees, three being a most excellent number btw. 😁 Just looked, I guess it is not really three although it seemed like that at a passing glance. 🤷🏻

  20. November skies are beautiful skies.

  22. All summer I waited for beautiful skies and now we are getting them! Enjoy your backpacking hike! It sounds like it will be a great adventure.

  23. The dark stark trees and the gorgeous skies---beautiful! Can you hear me now? Lol. That's funny.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Beautiful sunset colors. Got a good laugh about the cell phone tower.

  25. The second photo, Reminds me of arms reaching.

  26. Beautiful skies, as usual. Incidentally, there was a boat that was named " Can you hear me now?" Apparently the captain works for Verizon. But imagine calling the coast guard with that name! Can't wait for your next post!

  27. Great sky shots! Some of the older cell towers have antennas that broadcast the signals outward, like radio signals. My understanding is that the newer towers have antennas that that point downward as well as ones that go outward.

  28. Stunning Milky Way shots below! I'm glad there are still places to see the stars that bright, yet on Earth. I love to look at them in Moab and Costa Rica. And sunsets like your post today. The world can seem bleak, but the sun still rises and falls.

  29. I fled Verizon for T-Mobile several years ago and haven't looked back.

  30. Por lo general, en mi ciudad luce el sol, a no ser que aparezca una borrasca que es tan necesaria para el campo y para abastecer a los pantanos.
    La lluvia es perjudicial, cuando viene una Dana y se produzcan inundaciones, como se han producido en distintas zonas de mi país.
    Preciosas fotografías de la puesta de sol.
