Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is Things that begin with the Letters U,V or W. As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.

Ok, this week show us some things that begin with any of the letters U, V or W


Here are the rules:
1. Shots need to be taken between Tuesday, after the new theme is posted and the following Monday by sunset (Whenever that is for you). Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snapshots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!
2. Post your shots at any time during the week.
3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e. embedding them) but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: IMAGE POSTING RULES
That's it! Have fun! As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for.
An index to previous weeks can be found here: POTN WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK INDEX

That's it!
Have fun!

Uncanny sky

There's a lot of smoke high in the atmosphere. I took these shots within a few minutes of 9:00 this morning. No PP except sharpening and resizing. The darkness had increased since dawn; you couldn't tell where the sun was. Now, past 11 A.M., the sky has brightened to a light orange. It's still too dark to work outside.

It's been like that here, also..
We had the beginning of Santa Ana winds last night and today we have blue skies.
While the winds are good for us, not so good for the firefighters -?

Yesterday was eerie. And cold because so little sunlight came through, right after a heat wave. The word "apocalyptic" kept turning up in witnesses' statements in the news. Today the sky has been yellowish gray. Temperatures still low. A sprinkling of white ash covers everything.

Umbrellas over the Water, unseen due to the smoke from the fires in Washington is the
city of Vancouver just across the water. I was hoping to get all three letters in.
