Blue skies, peakin' at me, nothin' but blue skies do I see.

I lucked out and saw this hole in the clouds in time to grab my camera and take this photo through the tinted window at work, not an optimum photo-taking circumstance, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Before I forget to tell you, my Nikon D50 is home! Hip, hip, hooray! That's Marquam Hill in the foreground; it's just southwest of downtown Portland.

P.S. Tomorrow I'll finish up Blazer Hoop-de-doo! at http://mamamepdx.blogspot.com/
Come take a look at more stunts (one involves pizza), a hovering inflatable car, the outta sight scoreboard, Blaze (the team's mascot), the Blazer Dancers and a fast little girl on a tricycle. You'll be glad you did.

Great timing for the shot. You must be living right for the clouds to open up for you:)

I enjoyed the "Blazer Hoop-de-doo!" series. I'm thinking of going to some Celtics games this year - it looks to be an exciting year for us too.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Wow! What a capture. Great title for your post, too. You should be quite pleased with this one. Isn't it wonderful the skyshows you get in Portland. I was down there last month and really enjoyed taking some shots through the car window at sunset. Thanks for sharing this one,

Lynette, I have tagged you....

This is so beautiful. The sky is amazingly beautiful and extremely hard to capture in photos (at least for me!), great job!

I love "hole in the clouds" photos. I see them all the time here in Fort Lauderdale, but rarely have my camera in hand to capture them. I got one recently, and may post it. This is very nice.

Wow, what a great shot !

The cloud formed a nice frame around the tower. Yes, it is a perfect capture.

Gotta love those rare moments of blue sky on an otherwise typical rainy Oregon day ;)
