What beautiful scenery you have to admire while waiting.
ReplyDeleteNice view to have,rather easy on the eyes! I like the painting of the house and the wind turbine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. I love clouds. Thanks Merisi!
ReplyDeleteuhm, library!
ReplyDeleteI forgot the mention that the pictures carry links to Kaurismäki film snippets.
ReplyDeleteThe scenery in these pictures reminded of this Finnish director, especially of "Man Without a Past" - the scene at the container harbour, a desolate place on earth, yet he managed to impart so much beauty to that wasteland.
Thank you for all your kind comments!
Yes, Charles, I am a card-carrying member of the public library here (and I still carry my Library of Congress card with me, just in case .... `grin`).
To all a wonderful weekend,
I am off for the day, exploring the Hungarian countryside!
Six minutes? Hey, Merisi, not bad for a Quickie...
ReplyDeleteThe clouds around here are a lot blacker - and wetter!
ReplyDeleteYep. Mind made up...new camera for my birthday please JP.
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is particularly compelling. What is it about looking through things . . .
ReplyDeleteSix minutes well-spent.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we have much of the same weather.
ReplyDeleteI was downtown this morning for a Trondheim photo session for my new blog. Had coffee and thought of you :-)
I love to take photos of the clouds. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your sky shots.

Vienna has moody skies these days, but I am enjoying it nevertheless. It bothers me that I leave early morning from Burgenland (like on Friday for example) with an umbrella and shoes, because it was raining, and than at 1 pm in Vienna is so hot, 33 degrees in Simmering... But I cannot argue: I simply love these places, with or without rain...
ReplyDeleteThe first two photos make me think of a cloud giant kicking up his heels...that cloud looks so much like a foot.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the wait with you.
