Golf Skywatching











Home again! A peek at blue sky over the Sydney, Australian golf course before more winter rain. Imagine losing your golf ball over that cliff face!

is there a place where a humble caddy like me can sit for a while drinking a cool Martini or even a Gin Tonic?

It's what I felt after seeing those views!

Hhehee, THANKYOU for your unique comment Quinttarantino! Of course there is plenty of room for you and all your friends. Australia is a HUGE island ;)

You could lie down on the golf course or the sand to be at the beach here, Luke Wiley ;)

It's my favourite spot for dramatic and forever changing skies ForThePeople :)

Thankyou Tom, you're right it looks different every day :) Most of all, thanks for hosting SkyWatch Friday!!

Golfing by the sea! Quite another world! Wonderful pics!

These are really exciting photographs. I think that would be the single best place to play at least one round of golf.

It is another world here GreyscaleTerritory :)

Hhehee, I think there are some pretty terrific golf courses around the world AbrahamLincoln. You are welcome to play a round ;)

Thankyou for visiting and glancing at my first page BeckyVoyles!

Very true Fishing Guy! You wouldn't want to be a beginner hitting a ball next to those cliffs :)

Hello Anon. I have a mirror post for you here

Ces Adorio said...

Where are my manners?

Anon, these photographs are gorgeous. The more I see your photographs I am convinced I should have gone to Australia when I had the chance. Your clouds are wonderful. I love clouds - all kinds of them. I was a cloud nerd. These days I just love to look at them. What a beautiful golf course. I would go just to walk, golf spoils the walk.

Thankyou Luiz Ramos :)

It is indeed Ewok1993, but there is also more to it ;)

Hello Ces! I SAW YOUR MIRROR POST! It's very exciting! HAHA :) You just found your manners again, I don't think they actually left. Thankyou for your comments, I walk on the outskirts of the grassed area itself and peek through bushes! Have been hit by balls several times (so you're missing out on being hit by balls which is a good thing) heehee ;)

Ces Adorio said...

Ooh do be careful. You could get hurt. Yes, very exciting indeed. I just wanted to see if it will show. Next time I hope I have more exciting thing behind us.

Linda Reeder said...

Those are just beautiful photos. Makes me want to be there, and I don't golf.

Christy said...

What a beautiful place to golf. Looks like they belong in a brochure advertising the place. Nice job.

I'm a bird Ces and have learnt to duck *QUACK*!* Your post and what was before, behind and around you couldn't be more exciting! *bobbing up and down*

I don't golf either Linda Reeder but I'm at this place more than a lot of those golfers ;)

Thankyou Christy! A tourist brouchure would have less cloud and more sun I think. Hhaha :)

Suzanne said...

What an interesting golf course, must make sure you stay on the fairways for sure. Great sky to complement it. Happy SWF.

Rose said...

This is a wonderful series...I sure enjoyed them.

abb said...

LOVE to play that golf course. How beautiful - and the clouds are spectacular!

Anonymous said...

You sound like you know what you're talking about Suzanne. I remember your Skywatch photographs at a golf course in WA ;)

Thankyou Rose!

AHA, TSannie is a golfer! It's nice to get the impression this course is an attractive one to a golfer -thanks!

Perfect entry for skywatch… all I can say is that “you’ll be the sun in somebody else’s sky”…LoL! Mine’s up too hope you can drop by…

Inkivääri said...

Both a sky and a sea looks very movable - green not:)

Maria said...

The photos look like paitings! Beautiful!
Regards, Maria

laughingwolf said...

love the land/skyscape, golf does nada for me....

Anonymous said...

Thanks PrettyLifeOnline!

You're right, both the sky and sea could even merge into each other in these shots Inkivääri, Finland! No, not the grass :)

Thankyou Maria, they do look a bit painterly :)

I've never actually tried golf LaughingWolf. It makes me yawn just watching it ;) Thanks!

Maria said...

Hallo Anon,
thanks for coming over!
The picture with Stephansdom and the Riesenrad is not in a separate blog but is the last picture in my SWF blog...
Regards!

Aisha said...

Beautiful cloudy day shots! :) Makes me want to try golfing.

Anonymous said...

Yes, I saw it maria! Thanks for visiting again :) I had my photograph taken in front of that giant ferris wheel and remember it was called the Riesenrad! Very tricky what you did through a window and with the display :)

Or simply walking around a golf course Steven&Aisha! Hhehee

ematejoca said...

I think, you don´t know much about German Literature, but your photos
are the most beatiful I ever seen.
I look at them for hours. They are a place of peace.

So long!

kjpweb said...

Good ones! This reminds me of another site I frequently visit - Bird Anonymous. Weird! Know it by any chance?
Cheers, Klaus

pts said...

Great sky. Nice beach too.

Katney said...

I don't think I would go after the ball.

Carletta said...

Stunning Skies!

Anonymous said...

Hhaaa, no need to apologise Raj! This is on the Northern Beaches, there are lots of golf courses this way!

You're right, we don't learn about German Literature in Australian schools HAHA :) Thankyou! It is very peaceful here Ematejoca, if away from most people ;)

HAHHAAA, HELLO KLAUS! *tweet*

Thankyou PTS, Mo and Carletta:)

It's wise you don't go after the ball Katney! Especially over the cliffs! Hheheee :)

Thankyou Raven! That is a 'suburb' in the distance, we are about twenty minutes drive North of Inner Sydney City ;)

I wasn't playing Mountaingirl! :)

It was a Skywatching Friday, Mary Stebbins Taitt ;)
