For some reason — and I can’t name it — I always have been fascinated with the sky.

I never wanted to be a pilot to soar through the clouds or a meteorologist to know what was going on up there, but something about it called me. It’s just one of those things that you always think about, but you never understand you’re obsession.

Well, I wouldn’t call it an obsession, but I love taking pictures of awesome cloud formations as well as Picassoesque sunsets canvasing the sky before nightfall.

Up top is a picture I took during my family vacation in Savannah. Here are other examples of my wonderful — but rather simple — photography of the sky.

This view is from my current office building in New Orleans. I was told on the good days, you can see a storm rolling in over Lake Pontchartrain. This was one of them.

Took this one as my dad and I recently traversed the South to get to Louisiana.

Was lucky enough to snag this one outside of my hotel in Metairie, Louisiana.

This one is my favorite. Taken outside of Wednesday night trivia in Athens, Georgia.

If you follow me on Twitter (@tylermayforth), you’ll see me sporadically post these kinds of pictures. I don’t take them every day, but as you can see, when I take them they turn out pretty good. Like I said, there is just something about the sky.
