Cee’s challenges, are still on hold as she waits for Chris’s recovery from emergency surgery. I’m sure most of you understand the closeness we feel, and the attachment we have with our blog friends, and how, at a time like this, all we think about is Cee and Chris. I am keeping them both in my prayers, and I hope Chris’s condition continues to improve.

In the meantime, I scrolled back into Cee’s prompts to a point well before I joined this challenge to come up with a prompt I could use. I chose”

All about Cities (Skylines to Street Photography)

Cee has removed her post for that prompt, but we know how this works. I stepped into the archive for some photos that match the criteria. I also took a little liberty with the prompt (and the word Skyline).

By the way, as I mentioned on Saturday, I will have a post tomorrow. Two Review Tuesday returns. I hope to see you here.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.

  1. Feeling like part of one big blogging family is one of the reasons I keep blogging… being able to reach across the world and keep in touch with real people in real time is good for the soul, keeping the human connection is so important for all of us… :-)

  4. Quite a different assortment of images, Dan. You did a remarkable job here. My favorites have to be the mountain view and the misty lake next to it.

    1. That one popped up when I searched on “skyline” so I decided to include it. That was a very good day.

      1. A different kind of skyline.

        1. Yes, it is. The Boston skyline looks good, as long as I’m seeing it from a distance. ;)

  5. You captured some gorgeous skyline views of the city Dan. Well done. The crane was quite appropriate. I doubt there is one day that a crane isn’t up and running somewhere in the city!

    I just love the photo where you would “normally see the skyline”.

    Hope this is the start of a good week for you, although I imagine you will be out with the snowblower a good part of tomorrow! We knew winter would find us before spring arrived!

    1. I love city skylines, Ginger. Small cities or big ones, I’m always acting like a tourist. When I used to start my day at Great River Park, I was always across from Hartford’s mini-skyline. I still enjoyed seeing it.

      Sometimes, I think this whole winter was a matter of timing. So much of the rain we had would have been snow if it had fallen overnight instead of during the day. I’ll take what we get and deal with it. What else can we do?

      I hope you have a great week.

  7. Back in my salad days I lived in downtown Chicago, and that’s when I learned I am not a city person; I’m just too slow. But I remain fascinated by it. Especially at night. Your photo of the moon over the city and bridge is beautiful — there’s the reason cities are fascinating. As for Cee and blogging, I’ve never been able to figure out the challenges, but I’ve certainly seen the blogs inspired by Cee. There is a surprising personal element to many of these blogs, and we do develop a concern for each other, I think, even though we never meet, and that is something else fascinating. With those who know them, I too hope for the best for Cee and Chris.

    1. I’ve always lived outside of cities, but I enjoy visiting downtown, and even staying in a downtown hotel (when I can afford it). I’ve been through Chicago a million times, but I only visited the city on a couple occasions. Fortunately one time I was with a friend who has lived there forever and loves to walk. We covered a lot of ground.

      This community is special. Lots of people I’ve never met, but I care about them.

    1. I’m guessing you’ll steer clear of cities? When I searched for “Skyline” the Skyline Trail came up, so I thought I’d include it. If you guys make it to the Pacific Northwest, it’s easy to find.

Chris is still in the hospital, but she is doing real well. She will go to rehab most likely in the next couple of days. I’m waiting on confirmation, then I’ll do another update.

    1. I moved to NY in 1977, Hilary. I only lived there a little over one year. It’s amazing how much the skyline has changed, and there always seems to be a crane where they are continuing to change the look.
