I fired up the drone again and flew over the backyard in between rain storms. This is looking to the west. You can see everything is very green in Tulsa right now with all the rain we are getting.
A stopped in traffic, crepuscular ray shot one afternoon.
And another shot from almost the same spot yesterday.
The City of Broken Arrow has a Veteran’s Park with all sorts of monuments in honor of veterans. This is the “War at Home” Memorial. It honors veterans who came home from war but committed suicide later. It’s a huge issue. War is hard on people mentally and emotionally and we need to make sure they are cared for when they come home even though their wounds are not physical.
And I went on a short hike at our Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area. The John and Kate Kaiser YMCA tucked to the very northwest corner of the Wilderness Area. I am a Y member so I just check in at the office and take off. I hardly ever see anyone else on the trails there. It’s pretty remote from the rest of Turkey Mountain.
…such dramatic skies, keep looking up!
I like your various sky shots and a glance at the part
Your Tulsa skies are beautiful! I like the drone shot.
Gorgeous sky captures!
Great skies! The crepuscular ray shot is spectacular.
I agree that the PTSD problems that many veterans have is a great concern. Not only because of suicide, but because of broken relationships, work difficulties, and early death from other causes such as heart problems and vehicle accidents.
Beautiful sky photos. I especially like the first two. It’s sad that so many suffer from PTSD.
Very pretty sky shots
wow! the second image – right out of SF movie. I am expecting aliens to land.
Brilliant sky shots.
Beautiful sky images! That is a lovely War Memorial. Great reflection capture!
Take care, enjoy your day!
The crepuscular capture is a big “wow”. This is the first war memorial I’ve known of that honored veterans who suffered in this manner. My heart breaks, having had a father who ended up with a service connected injury from his World War II service. We do not give our veterans the care they deserve.
This is the first I have heard of. The “War at Home” Memorial is very touching and those veterans with PTSD need to be recognized and helped. Thanks for sharing that. Your sky photos are wonderful as are the reflections in the water.
It’s really important that they have a memorial for soldiers who had PTSD.
Amazing skies, clouds,
Great to see war memorial _ ()_
