Downtown Skies


Views while on an afternoon walk in our downtown area, I love the old red brick buildings. I thought the red of the brick was even more beautiful against the blue sky.

To see more skies from around the world visit SkyWatch Friday.

Great photographs. The brick has lots of character and does go well against the sky.

The red brick is beautiful with the sky, and I really love the perspective you chose! The flag is always a beautiful sight -- and so hard to photograph when its moving! Nicely done! (Thank you for being a regular visitor. I really enjoy hearing from you!)

The red bricks always reminds me of the past. Old bricks which still exists these days has a lot of stories to tell. I love to look at them.

Hi J,
As soon as I saw the brick my first thought was I love that brick. NC is well known for brick manufacturing.
The FLAG is waving proudly too.
