Do you love looking up the sky and see the bluest hue of it? I do. I call it blue sky-therapy. The color blue gives me the feelings of calmness, serenity, peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. It also reduces stress. Travelling gives me the chance get all that. And it is pivotal for me to capture photos of sky because I can never get the same sky if I travel to the same place again.

So, do you know why the sky is blue? The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air. However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

Here are random sky photos from around Malaysia I captured with my Nikon DSLR that I want to share with you. Whenever you are in stress, do come back here often and see my sky photos.

Enjoy!
