Our theme for this month is..........................

The Sky is the Limit !!

I think one could approach this in two different ways...Either a photo that is a play on the words of the phrase..

or simply Sky Photos

The sky should be the main focus...

Some really cool cloud shots can be found [HERE

Hey there is our Gommie for May! ;'] Thanks my friend and great cellphone camera capture. I like the way the closer clouds have a different tint. LOL@ your comments. EDIT: Also, here is another photo. The quality isn't great, but I love the way that the moon's placement made the cloud look like a deep ocean angler fish. Anyone else see it?

I've got a good idea for this challenge - I've been thinking about it was a walk around. There are alot of pretty clouds here and nice sunsets, I was thining of a more literal picture or maybe a totally different view, if only it would stop raining in London...
