Hello Skywatchers! Glad you're on board again!
We added the Followers gadget on the bottom of the page, to make it easier for you to stay on top of all thing Skywatch Friday!
Our today's host is our very own Wrenessaince Woman - or short Wren, who joined the Skywatch and Myworld team.
Even though I first joined this meme less than six months ago, it's rapidly become a regular and favorite part of my blogging world. So simple, it sounds, to just post a photo which shows the sky. And yet ... I think of the sky, the world, and my photos differently now.
This photo is one from our recent visit to Paris. The blue background is 100% pure blue French sky. I like the balance of the distant church and the nearby light post, and the topsy-turvy relative sizes.
I am most pleased to be joining the Skywatch team and helping to bring this meme into being each week. Thank you for joining us, for sharing your photos, and for being part of our community. Happy Skywatching, everyone!

loved your entry, wren! happy skywatching and happy weekend!
Magnificent, Wren. Great orientation on the shot.
Paris is simply a stunning city and you've captured its majesty well.
Wren: That is a beautiful photo of the French sky. You have one great sky show you have shown.
The sky is New Mexico this morning was pretty darn magnificent. Come on over and take a look.
Like I always say - the foreground makes the picture!
Marvelous photo!
Paris is always beautiful!
Sorry, I had a problem in my first entry in Mr. Lynk!!

Nice shot, Wren. Happy SkyWatch!
A perfect shot, Wren. Well done :-)
Great, interesting photo , grand perspektive and to round it up nicely a wonderful parisien sky.
Happy skywatch!
That's a fascinating variation in perspective. It's almost like a dyptich. It's a little jarring even, knowing that the foreground and background shouldn't both be in such sharp focus. Definitely attention-getting!
THANK YOU SKYWACH TEAM

Your photo is absolutely beautiful, Wren.
Lovely view of Paris, looking forward for the skies this week
Fabulous as always, Wren!
Simply stunning!
Wren, I really enjoy the topsy turvy perspective! What a great shot! Fabulous!
And I wonder where you were when you took this wonderful shot! Happy SWF!
Paris, mon amour!!
Great taken.
Such an unusual photo. A pleasure to behold. Thanks Wren.
Shalom from cloudy Jerusalem.
Beautiful and different. I like it.
That is such an interesting and beautiful shot. The sky is the perfect backdrop and I love the way the light post is close and the ornate building a little back.
That is an amazing entry! Lovely shot:) Have a great weekend ahead everyone!
Beautiful!!
A beautiful Parisian skyline so deftly taken.
I like the way the lamppost looks larger than the tower. Both are so elegant.
Jippi! I was number 100 today!!! Have a greate skywatch:)
I have some evening skies to show off!
What a spectacular picture that is!
WTG!
That is such an intelligent composition! Wow!
What a beautiful photo---I like the shadow on the church and the lamp post in the foreground. Very nice!
Hello wren, what a beautiful forms in your photo; and the sky blue is lovely.
Your photo is beautiful,and so is the blue sky.
Have a nice day.
A wonderful effect of perspective.
This angle is like a wink to reality.
Tour Saint Jacques in Paris, I guess.
Formidable. Bonsoir.
Thank you so much for sharing your stunning Paris Skywatch, Wren!
The photo ROCKS and so do you :-)
Wren, the disproportionate sizes lend such drama to the image. I also love the juxtopotition of the old architecture with the newer light. Bravo or bravi! Whichever is correct, I salute you!
such a beautiful blue sky, and some amazing architecture!
beautiful photo, Wren. Happy SWF!
Interesting Wren! Almost more like "Architecture Watch." *LOL*
Thanks for posting this Wren. I love, love Paris. Jack and I went to Paris for our honeymoon! April in Paris. So great! Well, November in Paris looks great too.
Fantastic view of the sky, picture perfect view of a famous sky line.
Thanks for sharing with everyone in Sky Watch Friday.
Beautiful shot, wren! :)
I am really enjoying Skywatch and participating. Thanks to all and Wren for a great shot! :)
Love the French Blue!
What a super photo for sky watch! Great job.
My conspicuous Grackle Sky is up and running! Happy SWF!
A wonderfully composed photo Wren and so beautiful.
I like the way you placed these two against the clear blue sky! Happy SWF!
Wonderful capture! Have a great weekend.
I like your French sky against the architecture. Very beautiful.
wow! wish i could touch that sky. so near...
A very beautiful photo of the a very beautiful building and the lamp is a very eye catching one. How times fly so fast, another day for skywatch again. Thanks to the team, I now have more excuses to look at the sky. :) Have a nice weekend.
wow, great shot! it is like as tho' you've climbed up that lamp post for this shot! :)
Even with the closeness of the light post, the whole picture is in focus. The detail on the church is easy to see and appreciate. Great work.
What an unusual shot but very beautiful! Happy sky watching!
Wren, that is absolutely stunning! The sky is almost turquoise...it reminds me of pure fresh water! The juxtaposition of the two subjects was just inspired! I am VERY impressed!

A good photographer knows where to stand, and you did it Wren ;)
Lovely photo, Wren! I like it for the same reasons you mentioned - that blue blue sky and those topsy turvy sizes. Wow.
I agree with Mojo, a little disarming. I can't quit looking at it though. :D
Another sunset photo of mine here :)

This is my first entry, my first time to participate. I hope to participate more often in the future. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
The picture says a lot about beautiful Paris..thanks for sharing
The sky is really blue. Interesting picture.
I put up a pink sky.

Wow that is great!
Very interesting perspective and color contrast.
That's something rather rare in Paris, a blue sky, lol !
Loving the Parisian blue sky as frame to the magnificence of the architecture.
Lovely picture of the Parisian sky! This is my first time....hope I meet the requirements and followed all the rules.
Ah, Paris! Great impact and interest for your SWF image, Wren. Good to see you aboard Team Sky Watch!
Great blue sky! I really like it.
Fantastic sky watch! I am always amazed by the work that went into building those great old churches - so much detail. And imagine lifting those statues to the top of teh tower.
This is a beautiful and unusual photo. The eveness of the blue is quite special, as you noted, and absolutely there is a surreal quality to it. I agree that one looks at skies differently now. Thanks for a beautiful post.
Love a blue sky. Even without the sun it's give the picture a warm feel. Mines up too.
Wonderful shot - fabulous blue sky!

I love the composition of this shot. It's not just only sky watch shot but also there is a story behind the photo as well. Great shot.

Absolutely WONDERFUL!!!!!
Great perspective creating lots of depth. I love it.
Great composition, Wren!
Wren, love the sky, love the gargoyles, love the perspective! Great job and happy SWF!
Wow, Ren ... that is one fabulous photograph. An optical illusion of sorts, that I'm having a bit of trouble putting into words. I think you get it. Love from The Prairie. xoxo.
Whoops !!! Wren ...
Thanks Wren, this is a neat comparison and I love the sculptures!

I have my second sky watch. Finally. I've been wanting to this for ages!
this is it.
I posted my sky watch much later than usual. Had to play at being a contractor buying stuff at home depot. It wasn't as fun as sky watching.
Mine is late, but better late than not.
Have a great weekend all, and a great Monday.
thanks wren-- that's neat! Sorry I'm so late-- I actually forgot to put my link on Mr. Linky. I have the brain of a gnat some days:)
