"MORE OF THE SKYCHALLENGE 1" - MY FIRST TIME AS HOST

in #skychallenge6 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemians,

Shooting the sky on the special days in our lives can add meaningful memories.

What does the sky looks like when you said "YES" when he was courting you? On the day of your wedding? Or when your first baby was born? And, many special occasion of our lives. Sky can tell stories.

This is what my challenge is about. Accepting the challenge of @ fyceeScreenshot_2018-07-09-15-26-48.png
To accept was not easy peasy, a mind boggling for me. I do not know what will be my topic.
My first choice actually was the Mimicry or imitating challenge - a funny challenge, so, we could laugh and laugh in the time of crisis, where Steem/SBD is on his deep dip. But, I do not know how to transfer the Mimic piece of Tiktok to Dtube. So, I find another one.

Hmm, then I scrolled my picture gallery. I love shooting the sky! This is it...look up...look up...the SKY!

The picture above or my cover photo here is a sample of my memorable sky shot. I captured that cloud formation during our geotechnical soil boring test in Ayala Business Park, Cebu City, two weeks ago. While I ordered lunch for our crew at 7eleven. This serves as document shot to hubby for this Ayala project was the first tallest building, 16th floor, ever he investigated.
Then, in about not more than a minute, the sky formation changed. I was lucky I snapped it.

The great Pacific Ocean is just near our beach house and one fine day this was a good sight. A parade of water buffaloes. This day was special because I was already sick then and my siblings just came home and we just agreed to just spend the day chilling at the beach with all our kids, it does not cost us anything because the beach is like our front yard in that house. Hahaha! But the memory of us catching up and the kids were so in awe of the carabaos. I think the owner finds it logical to travel via the shore than on the road because these animals could get stressed by vehicles.

This is the only sky pic I have in my phone. Hahaha! I will have more for next time.

Thanks and more power to @jurich60 for hosting this challenge!

Wow! Interesting, the sky background looks like a buffalo, relaxing! Thanks much @mermaidvampire...

Go go go @jurich60!!!
In response to your call... I am posting my contribution about those cloud formations, though am not joining as participant, my purpose is to give idea for everyone that clouds are not to be underestimated for they could be so powerful and devastating.

Nice one @jurich60! I will surely participate in this contest. Thanks!

First of all I want to thank @jurich60 for this contest I'll give you a photo that I took on the last trip I took with my mother to Margarita -Edo Nueva Esparta, I took it from the hotel where we were together we were watching that sunset, not knowing that it was the last sunset we would see together, they are memories with a bittersweet taste because we were both very happy there, and at the same time sad because of their departure.
