D-278 Where the Heaven's meet the Earth

The daily shoot today is Make a photograph that emphasizes the horizon. It's your choice whether to place it on the third lines or to center it.

The horizon is the apparent line that separates earth from sky, the line that divides all visible directions into two categories: those that intersect the Earth's surface, and those that do not. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by trees, buildings, mountains, etc., and the resulting intersection of earth and sky is called the visible horizon.

Where the heaven's meet the earth:

This is the Chicago Skyline As seen from across Lake Michigan from Indiana.
I like the colored version but after posting I converted to black and white and I like it better.






Color enhanced with Topaz Adjust.

D-199 Summer sky

Today's Project 365 Friday Challenge is
"Hot enough for you?"I started with just the first image to show the glow of the sky since it has been 98 degrees and higher here for a couple of days then the skies turned dramatic. In less than 15 minutes I got those 4 images of the sky in the same direction facing west.
I would probably do them justice by posting them separate but I did not want to overload blogger so I put them together. Amazing colors and look at the rainbow.



and The Daily Shoot today is: Double your art today. Make a photo of something you've created or crafted.
I recycled my daughters old army uniform. The army changed the patterns and she no longer had use for these and I knew I wanted to make something with that material. It holds my sketch notebook, pens, pencils, erasers and a few other things. I made it a few weeks ago but just now had a reason to photograph it. :)
I only used one pant leg. Maybe I'll make a purse with the other. Hmm...
