I often find myself staring at the sky from my window mesmerized by the kaleidoscope of colors, the sun, the moon, and the stars. I find that it calls to me, soothes me, and spurs me to dream. The sky also dares me to hang out my seventh floor window camera in hand hoping to capture the beauty I see on film. Did I mention that I’m afraid of heights? Here are a few of my favorite shots from the past couple of months. No special filters were used, the special effects were provided by mother nature herself.
