may skies, may tree, may rain

two skies for skywatch friday. the first is a "Maibaum" / "maytree" - in almost every town, you can find those trees right now, standing in the middle of the town square, put there by the different classic craft unions in each town: Bäcker (baker), Schuster (shoe-maker), Maler (painter), Müller (miller), Weber (weaver)....



and the second photo, a typical sight this month: clouds moving through, bringing mixed weather and wind. then some sunny days again, then another weather system. Rain in May.....




more skies from everywhere: skywatch friday

Lovely photos. When I was a child I heard about the Maytree but have never seen one. Very interesting. Happy Skywatch Friday.
