Skywatch Friday-Ft. Harrison State Park


I took this photo a couple of weeks ago at Ft. Harrison State Park on the northeast side of Indianapolis. Don Gorney and I were listening for woodcocks when I noticed the amazing sky behind us. I thought the gnarly tree looked really cool with the background of smoky blue clouds intertwined with orange and peach rays.

Check out other great photos from around the country at the Skywatch Friday site.

    Thanks, Louise. I love trees, especially big, old gnarly ones with lots of character.

    gone to the dogs-the ice bells on your site are especially cool!

    This tree sure has a view every night. It is standing so majestic and tall. Fantastic capture!
