French Sky

blueskyI went out the other day to take pictures of Cercy La Tour, a beautiful village in Burgundy, and I noticed that for each successive photo I’d would include more and more of the sky – I normally don’t do that in order to focus on the actual subject.

So I took some more photos and the same thing happened! Lots of sky in the picture and very little subject matter. The sky was so incredible that my eye just wanted to see more and more of it. The ensuing photo was just inevitable: A photo that was entirely the sky. So, here it is, you sky lovers, and feel free to grab the large version and make it a desktop wallpaper for your computers (pc and mac) (“desktop photo” for my fellow mac users). Get it below:

The wallpaper seems to have recently been taken down; but I saved it awhile back and used it to merge with another image I “borrowed” by Jerry Lodriguss. I did this shortly after Katrina hit New Orleans; the two pictures merged nicely together to show a gentler side of the sky or Mother Nature. The effect of combining night and day is a technique I “borrowed” from René Magritte, a Belgian artist.

Hope you guys don’t mind my “borrowing”…
