I realize there is not much sky for this SWF post, but there is enough to justify including it. The Colgate Rochester Divinity School has a marvelous (neo)Gothic tower that has always fascinated me. Unfortunately, it is up on a hill and photographing it is problematic; e.g., the best views are always ruined by poles, power lines, etc. BUT, as my wife and I were walking through Highland Park during the Lilac Festival, I just happened to notice the tower through a small opening in the trees. It is the only place in the park where there is a view of it. BINGO! Got the tower [albeit just a glimpse] and foliage.

It's like being in beautiful lush surroundings and getting a glimpse of a fairytale castle. :)
Lovely image!
A lilac festival sounds delightful.
That is a beautiful photo. Great scene.
I think it's magical the way the tower is framed by the trees and flowers. Beautiful shot!
As so often, architecture is best viewed through foliage, to my mind, a lot of foliage. I really like your skywatch shot.
This is more than enough sky in this image. Love it and know what you are talking about. Not easy to find a clear shot. A very beautiful shot. Well done!
I was at the lilac festival and didn't realize Colgate was so close to that park! I would have taken a photo of it if I had known. But it probably would not have turned out as well as this one! I like how the towers are just barely seen through the foliage.
Nice shot Stan and there is enough sky showing
