Allotment Sky

I frequently walk past these allotments and thought the sky threatened rain on this occasion, it soon passed and the sun came out a little later 

The Goring Gap

Supermoon

On Sunday evening I took this photo of the Supermoon, I used my compact on full zoom to capture it

The first few photos were in focus but the last ones were a Little shaky 

Later early in the morning I woke up and looked out the window to see the eclipse 

It was not long before it started changing red

Then darker and more red was showing

Until it was all red

Spitfire Friday

 Last weekend at the Silverstione Classic  this was Spitfire on display as part of the Battle of Britan display. Silverstone used to be an RAF bomber Base

 A while later I heard the sound of an engine and it took a few moment sto realise another spitfire was doing a flypast

An awesome sound

Glas Brook Valley

This is the village of Glascwm in Wales. I came here to visit the church  then back agan to visit another a little further away. On the way to the second I stopped off to look at this view. I think it is quite something.

You can make out the the church and belcote over to the left

 This was what I was looking at

And this is the second shot I took later of the Valley

They were taken with both DSLR & Compact.

Sky over Cefnlly's

For Our World Tuesday I showed Cefnlly's Castle  I could have also used it for Skywatch Friday but I thought lest show a couple of different views of the place .

 The day before I went along with my wife to see how easy it was to climb the hill and took this photo. You can see a spot where it sticks up

 This is the spot that stuck up, three people taking in the view, one even looks like he clocked me

After going down to the picnic area I looked up and got this view of the hill.

 First one above looks North and the bottome one looks West

Sky at Buscot

I've been a bit erratic with my posts after the A to Z challenge in that I have been taking a bit of a break. Should be back to normal next week though but as a taster I show a photos from a place I have yet to blog about. This is the lake at the water gardens at Buscot House in Oxfordshire.

More Countryside Sky

Think I will finish the week off with some of the amazing sky I saw when I took my walk along the Itchen Way in March if you check the link you will see the villages I passed through and a few more sky's to boot.

 This is just outside Avington looking towards the manor

 Further along the Valley
